Having shot one of those, it is my "I wish I had this!" dream rifle.

[madmax1854]

Yeah, it's probably my favorite of all the ones I own, it's really cool.

Too cool - I want one for my 96/44! What sort of load is that?

[madmax1854]

this particular load was a .44 special cowboy action load-- a 240gr LRN going about 800fps. Not the most powerful, but definitely the most quiet.

[mudbutton2]

Cool. I'm loading 205 grain RNFP at about 1100 fps for my plinkers.

[madmax1854]

1100 is right at the cusp of going supersonic, you'd probably get alot less noise and more accuracy if you're bullets werent going trans-sonic; the shockwave buildup de-stabilizes them. Most subsonic loads are 1000fps max, usually more like 950 or so. I cant wait until I can start re-loading my own subsonics.

you should check out my other video of this rifle- suppressed 77/44 vol.2

This is an honest question. I'm 14 and have never been hunting before, so would this gun take out a deer if you were using subsonic ammo? How do you like the gun?

I'm looking at that same rifle from S&H in Oklahoma. Have you tried several different bullets? I'm wondering about the kill range and sound of the rifle, hog hunting at night when I buy mine. i want quiet but range of maybe 80 yds, got any suggestions on bullet grain and grams of powder or the fps rating.

[hammondboys1]

do you hog hunt with it

[interpol3241]

That's awesome how you can hear the bullet even hitting that water.

[Gihaal]

I had no idea you could suppress that much sound out of a rifle...

[mudbutton2]

I wanted 240 grain pills, but all the shop could get was the 205's. My hunting loads are 240 grain JHP's at 1800fps from my 96/44 - for hogs. I wanted something that shot reasonably close to the same POI at close range for practice sessions.
