I use the Sig Sauer 205gr for my 300 BO. It has been a very reliable load that has taken 4-5 bucks and several does. It was perfect for kids starting out or who were recoil and/or noise shy. It is almost ‘movie quiet’ with either my Howa mini or mini Mauser with dead air sandman suppressors. Longest shot was 75 yards and it was the only bullet recovered. Shot entered the flank just ahead of the ham and was found lodged in the front shoulder.

For 22lr, I really like the SK standard, but CCI standard works well also. Using my CZ 452 and dead air mask, it is more quiet than most BB guns. I just wish I had this as a kid shooting squirrels out of mulberry trees.

Love that stuff in .22RF, and so do my rifles.

Wanna Be, this thread might cost me money. Have you seen the new Banish Backcountry? 5.5 inches, 7.8 ounces, 135 DB at the ear.

Yeah, saw that. I’m think I’m gonna shoot some with the 7” config and see how that “sounds” to me. May end up getting the Backcountry later or maybe the Speed K.

When target shooting with the sun behind you, you can see the bullet go into the target.

I have shot a lot of pigs, foxes, beavers at short distances of 50-70 meters with subsonic cartridge

308 caliber
