[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2729951, member: 1039"] Idk about subs under 350 - 400 gr being the only subs that work. Comparing them to .45 ACP. Surely not a pistol? I'll let you know how the 8.6 Blackout subs perform if I ever get the @*$@ thing built. My son-in-law, now in his 30's, has been running dogs on hogs and shooting hogs with suppressed AR's and bolt guns for about 17 years (suppressors came later). His favorite suppressed rifle is a .308 bolt gun. I loaded some 200 gr. Lapua's subsonic for him They are quiet (not movie star quiet, the kind of quiet that you just mentioned) and the hogs don't seem to be able to resist dying when he shoots them. Just for grins I used my solver to compare energies of a couple of different rounds at 100. Most hog and coyote shots he takes are 50 - 100 yards. With the exception of the 8.6 Blackout I've shot these with my Labradar so the muzzle velocity plugged into the solver (as well as G1 and G7) are actual not estimated. .20 55 gr Berger muzzle velocity 3,387 fps on target 3,126 fps 1,194 fpe (foot pounds of energy) (bolt action rifle, custom) .223 64 gr Berger muzzle velocity 2,835 fps on target 2,677 fps 1,019 fpe (bolt action rifle) .223 69 gr Unknown mfg muzzle velocity 2,668 fps on target 2,509 fps 964 fpe AR platform .308 200 gr Lapua Subsonic muzzle velocity 1,025 fps on target 988 fps 433 fpe .300 AAC Blackout 220 gr Subsonic muzzle velocity 1,050 fps on target 1,017 fps 506 fpe 521 fpe at [B]50 yards[/B]. It'll still make them dead just like the .308 does 8.6 Blackout 300 gr Berger Subsonic muzzle velocity 1,050-ish on target 1,030 fps 354 fpe (50 yards 1,006 fps / 449 fpe) Still dead but it might giggle a little as it goes down. Rotational energy is supposed to be a thing but I haven't been able to test that yet. It looks cool in ballistic gel [/QUOTE]
