Hello to everyone. I've been a member for a while and enjoy all the great discussions from everyone. My question has to do with most effective caliber, cartridge, loading to use for a silencer. I know about the 300BLK because I have one. However, it surely lacks power. I find that farmers and landowners are more agreeable to hunters on their property if they are safe and quiet about being there. I know that we as hunters/shooters need to be aware of the noise we can create by firing a gun.
In that vein, I am looking at a different caliber/cartridge with more oomph than a 300BLK that can be loaded subsonic and use a silencer. I also realize the restrictions on semi-autos due to required gas pressure to cycle properly.
Therefore, I'm looking at a bolt action rifle and cartridge that can be loaded subsonic and still function properly with adequate bullet energy to hunt medium N. American game within 300-350 yds max. Thanks, MapMan
