Rifle for suppressed hunting

[whitetail regulator]

special interest arms novem 9 has my attention...but its offered in 40 cal...will 180gr 40cal go supersonic in a 16" boltaction? i have seen 200gr 40cal

The nosler 220gr ballistic tip was designed to run subsonic, and they will stabilize in a 1-10 twist. I have shot quite a bit of 208 amax subs in my 308 but if I was planning to hunt with it I would definitely go with the 220gr nosler BT

Started playing with my UL7 recently. Currently have a 22" 6.5x47 which nets out to 28"(1" of can overlaps barrel). Just chopped a 30-06 to 18" and that one is only 24". Now I am thinking about an 8 twist barrel on my 7mm remington at around 21". Should get me 2850 fps with 180s. Once you shoot something suppressed, I am finding I only want to shoot stuff suppressed. Great fun.

Same boat here. Now every gun purchase either has to come threaded, or be immediately shipped off to get threaded. It's addicting.
