A buddy of mine does the suppressed/NV thing but keeps it to more close range stuff. To be clear, I'm all for the 300 BO with a suppressor, I just don't see it as a giant killer running light bullets supersonic.


Gotcha.

I ask because I am curious how the sub-sonics do on pigs and schit out around 100yds. I'm supposed to go pig killing next spring and was going to take my 308 with but I will more than likely use regular loads.

Here's my son yesterday. It's hard for me to imagine where I'm going to need a gun to be this quiet. Especially when I'm having to dial about 8 MOA between the fiddy and the 100.

I live in the east, in a state than bans .223 for deer, where people are everywhere. I have the Blackout so I can shoot a deer pilfering from my backyard garden, and the neighbors won't be disturbed during their nice autumn morning or evening. Like a crossbow, it's a narrow niche, but a useful one for my purposes.

Do you shoot it sub-sonic and suppressed?

Seeing, how you write "Uber" it should not surprise me, how you pronounce it.

But, dang, listen to yourself.

Its "�ber".

Suppressed subs from an SBR that actually cycle the weapon is fun, you can't argue with that. Thats whay most (especially us youts under 35) have taken a liking to them. Unless you already have or plan on doing the work for a suppressor and SBR lower, 300BLK is pointless. I prefer 5.56 for mostly everything from an AR but a 6.5 Grendel project has always been on the back burner for me.

Chambered in 7.62�39, the LAR-47 is fully adaptable with all AR upgrades and features a chrome-lined bore. Check out the video from SHOT Show

Yep.


What bullet are you using and at what ranges? Do you usually brain or spine them?

Yup. Same worry exists with a bow...or even muzzleloader. I'm friendly with the only neighbor's place they've ever run onto. Most I've killed just dropped DRT.

Trying 230gr soft cast Lee for this year. The longest shot on my tiny home garden/food plot field is 55yds from the stand. Most are more like 30yds. I'm high enough and they're close enough that shots are at a high angle down, making most shots spine shots just because it's on the way to the lungs.

Oh come on, its not hard or super expensive to have a accurate and reliable .308 in the AR platform. You just have to know who to source your parts from. I will walk you through it if you want. wink

I can't yet comment on how it will work on animals, but trying the 194 lehigh bullet, max expansion I think its called.

At 100 in the same backstop as barnes are fired into full speed with many rounds, the lehigh looks just a barnes, 4 petals peeled back.

At what should be appx 1000 fps from a 300/221 round.

When I get to a pig, hopefully soon, I"ll give a report.

I have not shot the drops on it yet but you can run the BC and 1000 fps, off the lehigh site and figure how bad or not bad the drops are. IIRC it was along the lines of 4-6 high at 50 if on at 100.... Since I have a rangefinder and will run knobs on the gun, won't be that big a deal IF the need is there for suppression, either real or in my mind.

Will try to take pictures of pig results and so on. Will do same with deer this fall.

BTW one of my buds says the suppressors work great on yotes too, you can almost always get the 2nd no problem, and it will be looking at the first generally... not running like he77. Thats hard for me to believe though.
