Just looking for a reality check here:
Have always been interested in suppressors, in fact have one for my CZ .22LR and simply love it for squirrel hunting. With premium subsonic ammo and the silencer affixed, it is quite accurate to 35-50 yards and gets the job done quietly.
With this success in mind, I considered hog hunting with a .308 suppressed and subsonic ammo. HOWEVER, a buddy set up a 300 BLk suppressed and he says don't waste your time. Said the ammo at subsonic speeds is highly inaccurate, drops like a rock and has little or no expansion or killing power. So, my question is...is there any valid thinking to pursue a silencer, a new gun w/ threaded barrel, new scope, new rings, hand loads...etc? In other words, just take out my non-silenced gun and go shoot a hog and quit worrying over busting a whole sounder of hogs in one sitting?
Just a reality check......
