Suppressor?

Hey, my soon to be 10 year old wants to hunt next fall. I’m going to buy him a rifle and I’m pondering the options. The easy call is a .243 with a youth stock. I’m thinking about getting something suppressed though. Should I even consider a 300 blackout? I’d like to save his ears as much as...

Average groups are 3/4-1 inch at 100. I’ll often get two holes touching.

It’s a great rifle out of the box. Good trigger, tight action, even the stock is pretty good. Biggest downfall is the lack of aftermarket support.

Do you think I’d get better performance than the hornady superformance ammo?

This falls in the “too obscure “ category. I bought a TC Icon in the 30 TC caliber. Factory ammo is now non existent. Hornady told me they did a run of ammo in March 2021. They don’t anticipate another run until next year. I don’t care to reload, mostly a time issue. I have a few rounds to get...

Thanks for all your help!

Also, forgive my novice hood, but hammer states the minimum twist rate is 1-12.5 for their 166 gr shock hammers. My barrel is 1-12. Because this is faster than 12.5, does this mean they would be acceptable to use?

Yep, I’m going to put in for the Grand Canyon bison hunt. I figured I’d get ahead of the ammo issue and find some bullets.

Are all Hammer bullets lead free?

I have a .30 TC that is my only big game rifle. Looking at a possible bison hunt in the fall. I need to load my own ammo because I’m the moron who bought a 30tc. What lead free bullet would you guys load for a bison hunt? I would also use it for elk in the fall.
