Not on your list, but I second the TC Compass II, and also throw in the Ruger American Predator. The TC put 5 shots into .358" at 100 with factory Hornady Ammo. The Ruger put 3 shots into the .2s and .3s all day long with my handloads at 100. Both of these are in 6.5CM.

Suggestion from experience. I have thermal and my son has NV scopes. I have used the thermal for years, but my 2 sons and I have pretty much decided that for 50 to 100 yard shots, a good regular scope with illuminated reticle or a red dot, combined with a good green hunting flashlight mounted to...

As mentioned before, tactical reticles are a BIG plus ( I consider them a necessity) for shooting subsonic at varying ranges. So is a rangefinder if you don't already know the ranges. I use SWFA or Sightron STAC with MOA5 reticle. The Christmas tree reticles are way too busy for me.

I can't speak to AR loads for 300 BLK, but my quietest load for my bolt rifle was using Unique powder with Hornady 190 Subx. I spent a lot of time and components working up that load but realized that the "whop" of that 190 grain slapping pork will scatter pigs as much as a louder report from...

I started that years ago. Gave away 6 rifles last year to grandkids. Good thing I did that before the boating accident.

Before the boating accident, I had a Beretta 20 gauge that we inherited from my wife's aunt that I don't think had ever been shot. I think she bought it new in 1974.

I've been through this dilemma with several rifles. It all started when I went to 30mm tubes and large objective lenses, so if you really don't need an objective over 42mm or the 30 mm tube, save yourself a lot of grief and use the 1" scopes with lower rings. That said, I tried all kinds of...

I have 2 thermals and a can. I'm getting to where I use the thermals as hand held scanners to locate the critters, then use a green hunting light with a red dot or regular scope with illuminated reticle for shooting, especially if the expected ranges are anywhere close to 100 yds or less. I have...

So has TX been working on some kind of poison. The problem is making sure only hogs get it. Not a fan of poison myself. It is just like Johnson Grass, Bahia, and bermuda grass. No good for wildlife. I am in a constant battle on my place with bermuda, bahia, johnson grass, and hogs. Returning to...

Working for $5.00 a day wasn't that good, but at the same time I could ride my Cushman Eagle all afternoon on 15 cents worth of gas. I don't remember reloading component pricing at that time, but the local gun shop would sell you shotgun or centerfire rifle ammo by the "each". I bought a brand...

One thing that I think has affected the population is the big increase in corn prices after 2020. My son quit feeding last year, and I suspect a lot of other people did too.

I'm 15 miles NE of Crockett. Surrounded by DCNF.

I haven't seen any on my place in TX since last December. Good riddance, for now, because they will be back.

Here is my experience from this past year. I have been reloading since probably around 1967, but I really got an education when I started trying to get a very quiet and accurate subsonic load for 300 blk.. Advice, spend your money on the best brass and bullets and save yourself a lot of wasted...

What Jake said. I was using CFEBLK in my 300 (suppressed) and had flakes of carbon falling down on the bolt face. That powder is some nasty burning stuff. Low pressure too.
