I have a Ruger SR 762 and tried to shoot 3 different subsonic factory loads this week...they would not cycle with a can attached despite gas piston adjustments for under-powered ammo.
In a previous thread, someone suggested different calibers may cycle more effectively. Is the 300 Blackout one of those? I would like to stick with a 30 caliber round or at least close...but not .223. I am not bound to semi-auto, so a decent bolt gun could be an alternative for my needs leading me to an equally important topic:
Can a sub sonic load offer effective killing power on medium sized game like feral hogs? I realize shot placement is critical and some hunters boast hogs can be killed with a .22 rifle....but I am a bit more realistic than that. Knowing my effective killing range is quite short and limited, can subsonic loads be effective at all for medium game at short ranges no greater than 100 yards?
