Lyman's AR reloading manual and lyman's cast bullet handbook have information that would be beneficial for you to read. What kind of bullets are you using? Gallery loading and subsonic loads can be questionable with jacketed bullets.

Shooting your gun into a barrel obstruction can be extremely dangerous so please be careful and don't do that!!!

I like to should shoot paper plates or metal plates or a "shoot n see" Target or some way that you can absolutely be certain that the bullet has left the gun and has struck the target.

I am and have been testing subsonic loads with powder coated cast bullets in bolt action rifles chambered 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, 300 Blackout, using Alliant Bullseye Winchester Auto comp, Trail boss, Red Dot, Winchester 231 and probably some other powders I've forgotten about.

I'm going to guess between 5 and 10 grains of pistol powder is going to reach your goals.

I have never used VV gunpowder so I have nothing to say on that.
