Re: How much does a sound suppressor really silence a rifle?

Enough to provoke mass hysteria among the majority on non gun owners into believing these devices are inherently evil, it will make the said owner ruthlessly evil and make you jump thru hoops for the rest of your life if you want one. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have got one :twisted:

Re: Why didn't I think of this?

ATF will probably backtrack on this.....A silencer is/in of itself considered a firearm, and as such, to be serialized, registered and to go thru all the hoopla regardless to whatever it is mounted on. If not, I should be able to bypass all the paperwork if I was to say, buy a Bowers 50 can just for...

Re: .338 Federal?

Sorta in the ballpark on the info request.....I cast some 200 grain bullets in my RCBS mold today..........
8.1 grains of Trailboss came to ~1015 FPS
9.1 grains of Trailboss came to ~1065 FPS

Earlier tests using 250 grain Sierra Game Kings, 13 grains netted ~ 1015 FPS.

Re: Do suppressors do the job?

Just got some 200 grain Speer bullets from Midsouth and just for grins loaded them on top of 10 grains of Trailboss...~1025 fps to see how well they shoot at 50 yards(off my back porch). Very accurate btw and quiet as well. When I finished, went inside and asked the kids who were engrossed in their ...

Re: Long barrel vs short barrel 10/22 observations, opinions on what's next?

It's easy to underestimate the lethality of the CCI Quiet. I dropped a pretty good sized boar from about 80 yards with one. Severed his spine. Thru n thru, bullet was not recovered. I know, pure luck...but it was enough to drop him on the spot and cause him to squeal like a banshee in heat. The shot...

Re: Which Supressor for a 358 win

I've always wanted a 358 Winchester, especially in regard to the dual purpose of using handgun bullets and hunting bullets - probably suppresses really well too.

Re: Max silencer weight that cycles semi auto pistol

In the eyes of the ATF, possession of an unregistered item that muffles the sound of any firearm in the slightest, is all it takes. So if by definition, the op wants an all encompassing suppressor, bring it on.

CCI makes a 40 grain hollowpoint subsonic at an advertised 1050 fps. Highly recommended!!!

Re: "Hollywood Quiet" .22 host - barrel length questions...

Integral bolt action 22 is most likely the closest thing to hollywood quiet there is. And depending how loud you set your volume on the t.v., it may very well be quieter than hollywood quiet.

Re: Price of suppressors IF Hearing Protection Act is passed

Once match shooters realize the noticeable benefits of suppressors, besides sound reduction, I would imagine that their popularity would soar.

No need to put up with that concussive blast and a hefty reduction in recoil puts a new dimension in shooting.
