OP Jim the Plumber Campfire Regular J Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,153 Washington state	Took my 223 Rem parts gun to the orchard again today. Killed 16 chucks from 70 yards out to 291 yards. The big bastid was at 246 yards. The last picture was at 291, he only gave me a head/ neck shot, so I shot him in the neck. Where most of the shots were fired: Oversized male: Family of 4, is no more.. 291 yard kill.

Most of the reading and talking to others that use cans on 223s sate the report is still quite loud (i.e. hearing protection needed) unless using weak loads and/or going subsonic which would then defeat the purpose of the 223. A 22 mag through my Sparrow, while much quieter than nonsuppressed still produces a good report (hearing safe) and I can only imagine a suppressed 223 would still have a hearing protection needed report. I digress, and yes, that is a pig of a pig.
