Have been shooting 300 BO and fun to switch guns every now and then. Up to 95 hogs YTD off my place.
Nice shooting!! How do you like your Recce 7? Mine should be out of NFA jail next month. I’m already planning on picking up either a Thunder Chicken or a DeadairNomad next. Lol. #addiction
Thanks for sharing the info. I currently have a Gemtech Tracker. It’s been a lot of fun and I can’t see hunting or shooting without a suppressor. It definitely changes the game. I truly don’t get the hype over subsonic loads aside from punching holes in paper. You’re right about the limitations regarding their use for Hunting. I became addicted to thermal and suppressors during my hog hunting trips to Texas. Now I have my Texas hog hunting starter kit of a Trail thermal and one suppressor. Lol. I can’t wait to come back soon.... pewpewNYChogkiller - I've received two from Silencer Shop, took 7 months to get out of jail. So far so good. These are my first so I really don't have anything to compare. I've got one more coming Griffin Armament GP7. Should be able to pick up in January.
What I can report is that once you start shooting with a suppressor you do not want to shoot without one. There is a noticeable reduction in recoil, sound and a bit more accurate in POI. All hogs I've killed are with supersonic handloads. I try to load at highest velocity/accuracy and stay within spec.
I've loaded some subsonic but have not shot a hog. Most of my shots are 100 yds or less but still I don't like the drop associated with subsonic. I never know when I'll need to lob one 150 or more yds. I've been stalk hunting my place going from field to field and I try and stalk as close as possible without getting busted. On a moonlit night you cannot get as close so I end up taking much longer shots and would not be comfortable with subsonic.
I'll eventually try it on some hogs. I will say from target practice with subsonic/suppressor it is amazing quite.
