[QUOTE="canderson, post: 509096, member: 10891"] If available I would use a bolt action or a single shot (encore or other vairaint). It will be the quietest platform to build on. A friend of mine gave me a great analogy about hunting with a subsonic weapon. It is very similar to bow hunting with a lot more range. Subsonics kill with tumbling bullets. There are a couple of companies making subsonic bullets that will supposedly expand. I killed 5 or 6 whitetail does last year from 50 to 175 yds. Aim for the lungs and let it go. As far as cartridges, a whisper will always be a whisper. A 308 or WSM can be loaded down to subsonic levels with trail boss powder. A friend shoots both full velocity 308 and WSM loads as well as subsonic when he wants it quiet. Trail boss powder for the 308 and WSM and lilgun for the whisper. I shoot 240 smks and 220 RN.
