You have NV, Digital NV (called "cheap" NV above) and thermal. First of all, never buy anything ATN. That is my opinion. I know the prices are great by they have a very sorted history in terms of QC and CS. Don't fall for how they have changed in recent years. People have been saying that...

Sounds like replacing one pre-occupation with another, LOL. We all choose our battles. Pick the one that works best for you.

I understand the sentiment, but consider the terminal ballistics and the biology. What makes a deer DRT? That is going to be a shot that shuts down the brain or upper CNS due to direct or indirect damage. Massive damage may not cause the instant death you were expecting. Blowing a massive...

Well, and this gets into different types of "failures." You have the failure to kill properly (not in the case of the OP) and you have the failure of the bullet to do what it is supposed to do itself, which in the case of the OP, the bullet was supposed to come apart violently inside of the...

I don't really give a squat what a bullet is designed for or marketed for, or maybe I haven't made that clear yet? All I care about is its actual performance in critters. That is the basis for me not caring about what is claimed by manufacturers. I have plenty of experience with bullets...

No, only actual performance counts, not what some engineer or inventor had in mind when he started to develop the product, while interesting, has no bearing on the actual performance. Design intent is not a performance parameter, only thoughts, concepts, or words, which are not a part of the...

I am assuming you are talking about rifles and not pistols... If your ladder tests are for accuracy/precision, then testing without the suppressor when you plan on using one is about as helpful as running the tests using a different rifles.

Yeah, I can't remember if Remington is in business or not. They are, they aren't, they are.

It was a hypothetical, simply stating that a Krinkoff or other forcing cone isn't going to do the same job as a suppressor. I have already covered that there is a price point for every product.

Again, you wouldn't be looking for a suppressor and complaining about prices if a Krinkoff actually worked very well. They have some value, no doubt, but are poor substitutes for suppressors.

Oh, they were definitely out. You see, deer don't have homes to go home to, so they are always out. :D The trick is to be where the deer are. You just weren't where the deer were, but they were out.

"Work" is relative. They are definitely less user friendly than a suppressor in terms of overall performance and performance at the shooter's ear and to the ears of the folks around the shooter. And let's face it. If they worked that well, you wouldn't be considering a suppressor. Like you...

I spend 98% of my hunting time hunting at night using thermal and night vision. I can assure you that the full moon doesn't allow for deer and other animals to feed at night. They browse and feed quite well on pitch black nights with no moon.

Growing up in the family pawn business, I learned that there are a lot of things people want and a lot of things people will settle for when price/cost is on the line. There will always be people like Mark Mark (no judgement) that perceive things differently and have different wants/needs. We...

Investigating poaching is what they do. Besides, how do you know they don't have a suspect? Maybe it is a one-off. Even so, North Carolina seems to take it pretty seriously if you have any concerns. https://www.ncwildlife.org/Connect-With-Us/NC-WILDTIP-Turn-in-Poachers

My thoughts? Hunters are a superstitious lot and are generally very poor at statistical analysis of their own memories. They have their lucky hunting underwear/shirt/coat/rifle/what-have-you and if a correlation is noted, it can readily become fact as a matter of story telling. Sadly, my...

Yeah, single hole in the head between the eye and ear and I am not thinking it is from the random spread of a shotgun blast. That deer was poached and poached on your property. If the projectile didn't go all the way through, I would have called it it to the GW and they could retrieve the...

They actually say something like that on the website... https://460rowland.com/product/your-9mm-to-true-357-magnum/ "Convert your 9mm handgun into .357 Magnum power with a .960 Rowland Conversion." Agreed. It is the decimal point in front of it that makes it look caliberly stupid. The could...

We know that .22 long and .22 long rifle will penetrate the skulls of deer, wolf, elk, mountain lion, coyote wolf, boar, grizzly and probably moose as well, at least for North America. How small are you planning on carrying? To answer your question, which is still way oversimplified in terms...

You asked a poorly reasoned and rather naive question. People tried to answer you more thoroughly in order to cover the bases you failed to cover in order to try and help you. True, but muzzle energy isn't the solution to the problem being expressed, only a small part of the overall...
