I have tried devoloping a load from the reseached I gathered at the time and the 1st load worked fine but the 2nd with a grain more powder costed me an upper receiver. I would like to try again but there is little margin for error and like to compare notes with someone else. If you do have some infomation but don't want to reveil because of the risk involved I understand. But feel free share any knowledge on the subject for it is not pacifically discussed in this forum. Thanks.

The terminal ballistics of a sub-sonic 5.56 are going to be pretty bad.
And unless you have a suppressor, it won't matter.
Have you considered a .22LR conversion kit and some CB Longs or subsonic .22LR?
