![]() ![]() My hearing was lost to a lot of shooting rifles and bigger guns w/o hearing protection, explosions and a lot of riding around in very noisy military aircraft and vehicles. I shoot my suppressed rifles with full bore jacketed loads w/o hearing protection and with my hearing aids in. Just because you don't like it or want it doesn't mean no one else should have it. This is the kind of stupid stuff that causes us to continue to loose more rights. If just making a big boom gets your rocks off why even load boolits? You can accomplish the same thing with blanks. 300 Blackout is quiet enough that all you hear is the action cycle. That’s the fun of it, the others are to stupid to know you just set off a blast equal to a pound of tnt. You will kind of look dumb because others won’t know why you are smiling. When you put one of these off you won’t hear it but it should put a big smile on your face. You can set off thousands of them and not disturb the neighbors. I’m going to start making and selling quiet firecrackers, noiseless. There are a few situations they would be useful but mostly they are toys. Myself I don’t need one mostly cause I ain’t going to pay to own one. If a guy wants a suppressor do it! But admit you want to play with it don’t give flimsy stupid reasons. The main thing I always wanted a silencer for was to sneak into some posted squirrel honey holes. ![]() When younger guys usually get these things out of there system. I don’t think silencers should be legal on big game animals. Silencers, Full Auto, ect I have nothing against them. I'll not comment on john k's post as I prefer not to get banned. I also use them on handguns (M1911 45 ACP) and on my Rhineland conversion 45 ACP M98 Mauser which are all sub-sonic loads to begin with. 308W I shoot both sub-sonic (most often cast) and full house jacketed bullet loads. I've used them on my own rifles firing sub-sonic rifle cartridges from 22LR up through. Besides, this is still the United States and I don't need a reason "why".Īs to use with suppressors I have been using suppressed weapons since '66 and had my own since '80. I have used subsonic loads in 22 though 45 caliber CF rifles for many, many years to my and others complete satisfaction. Why would you go subsonic?įull power loads and even "normal" reduced loads many times are still to powerful and noisy for the above. You have the barrel length and the charge. Why are people always looking to make rifle rounds subsonic? Besides, I'm OK with my ear plugs that make my 44 Magnums "pleasant" to shoot. I might try one if I didn't have to jump through the hoops (adding my name to another government agency as a gun owner, do all the paper work and pay the $200 "tax"). Were they heavily use by the mobs in 1934? I cannot fathom why suppressors were made illegal in the first place. Funner to shoot than my rimfires and even with minimum loads are not quiet enough to go without hearing protection. 224" bullet over some WC820 that depending on my load run about Long Rifle to 22 Magnum velocities. 223 Handi-Rifle consisting of a 45 gr cast. 223 as being silly, but I have an extremely accurate load for my. Thinking about many handgun loads like 44 Specials, 45 Colt, 38 Specials, and some 9mms that are under the speed of sound, but not at all quiet, even those running 300 fps below speed of sound. I have several "subsonic loads" and they surely ain't quiet just because they are under 1,100 fps. I'm kinda on the fence on this subject, and I've read some above posts that make no sense at all. 22lr came back on the market and lowered prices quickly so I shelved that project and moved onto something else. I think the same load in the mid 3's grains of Red Dot would be super quiet subsonic. 55 gr vs 36 or 40, couple hundred feet per second faster. 22lr with a bit more smack on the far end. But assuming aimpoint was a squirrel eye, 10 shots would have killed 10 squirrels. The other was 55 gr bator bullet, no gas checks, 4.6 grains Red Dot. 55grn Red Dot 6.6 1682 fps to 8.5 2022 fpsĦ.5 grs of Red Dot will get you in the 1800 fps area,and will shoot well also. I came up with 2 winners, one with gas check and a little more Red Dot. 223rem single shot handi rifle with 55 gr cast bullets. 22lr shortage I tinkered with light loads of Red Dot in a. ![]()
