I have a Marlin stainless guide gun with the barrel shortened to 16 inches and threaded. I plan to put my sons and grandson in the good spots this season while I do some covert meat hunting. I am still developing a 405 grain load using H4895. Hodgdon has determined that H4895 lends itself to reduced loads. The company recommends starting at 60% of the maximum published charge for a given cartridge/bullet combination and working up from there.
I loaded five sets of cartridges with charges progressing one grain per set yesterday. My quest is to find the largest charge that will be "whisper quiet" using my Silencerco Hybrid Suppressor.
Now, if I can just find some time and dry weather to try them out!
Do any of you have experience developing and shooting subsonic 45-70 rounds through a suppressor.
T.S.
