[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 2339230, member: 70595"] My son and I both hunt suppressed now. We suppress gas guns chambered for supersonic .308 only. I also hunt with an 18" barreled 6.5CM bolt gun. My son does have a 300BO but he doesn't hunt with it due to a lack of power that would ensure a humane kill. We have tried loading sub-sonic 220gn Nosler round nose expanding .308 cal. slugs and messing around shooting milk jugs full of water was showing a lack of expansion and penetration when loaded sub-sonic. With a bolt gun, the amount of sound would be less than our gas guns and the amount of sound we get from our rifles is easily hearing safe and the echo of the shot coming back at us is minimal. My recommendation is to load full power 308 loads and sight in with your can in place and enjoy your quiet hunt. [/QUOTE]
