[QUOTE="SkipB, post: 2706237, member: 117443"] Guys I have been thinking about getting a supressor for a while now but when I stopped by the gunshop today there was a smart edit little guy behind the counter who thought he knew everything and I was an idiot. I asked a few simple questions and he told me that unless I was shooting sub sonic ammunition a supressor wouldnt help. I explained that at sea level that was around 1,000 fps and useless. He then goes on a rant about sub sonic ammunition and thats when I told him I had a 22-250 a 220 Swift a 243 that I wanted to supress and none of them would shoot that slow. He kept pushing this Atomik ammunition and he didnt even notice that I had a can of IMR 4895 in my hand and he would have noticed that I reloaded my own stuff. He had no idea what a Swift even was and when I told him it would shoot 4000 fps he all but called me a liar and laughed so I just walked out. He kept trying to push a supressor made by Texas supressors as being the gold standard of supressors. Anyway all 3 of my varmint guns have heavy barrels so they will thread easily. My question is how much noise reduction can I expect from a supressor if I am shooting coyotes down here and want to be quiet about it will one really help me. [/QUOTE]
