Chamber adapters for rifles - 02/24/12
I am wondering if any gunwriters or other experienced members have ever used rifle chamber adapters. I found some for sale here: http://www.mcace.com/adapters.htm . I am particularly interested in the adapter that allows the use of a 32 Smith and Wesson cartridge in a 30-06.
My reasoning for this is if I was backpack hunting and wanted to dispatch a rabbit or grouse for the pot, but didn't want to wake up the whole forest with a full power rifle shot. Subsonic 32 S&W rounds should be pretty quiet from a rifle barrel, and should do a lot less meat damage on small game.
The other option I though of was loading 110 grain FMJ bullets at a subsonic velocity. I do not know if such a load is feasible or not, and I don't know if data exists for such a load.
Thanks ahead of time for your input.
