The raccoons were no problem at 50 yards though and I gotta say I get the whole thermal craze now, that was a lot of fun to have multiple targets and have the complete element of surprise. first night chalked up 2 raccoon kills and spotted a coyote but didn’t want to shoot it since I was only sighted in for the 22. With that handy function I can make a game time decision of whether I need subs for discretion or if I need to stretch out to distance. It has 4 calibers that I can save for sighting in and an American defense mount that returns to 0, so currently the plan is 22lr, 22 WMR, 300 BLK and then maybe the 6.5 grendel. I did get the thermal on the other night, currently have it mounted on a tac sol 10/22 just for testing out the functions. I think I have kind of given up on going with a designated sub round for the hunting purpose. I appreciate everyone chiming in on this thread, I’m still looking for that “perfect” sub caliber but in the meantime I will take advantage of the features of the optic and bounce it around to different guns for different purposes! I have a farm field out in front of the house that ranges out to about a mile of open ground and I have no problem picking up the farm house that is 1100 yards away, haven’t had any animals out there yet but easily pick up moving cars on the farm road at 850 yards. As for the Rattler TS-35, in my opinion it is an excellent optic for the my use having 10 acres, 4 acres timber and 6 acres open field. +1 mil for 100, +2 mil for 120, +3 mil for 145.Īim low -1.5” for anything inside of 75 yards. Inside of 150 yards it gets dramatically easier - zero at 75 yards. You’ll have the same 1 mil drop between 190 and 210 yards. Going to a 338 whisper or even a 510 whisper - you’ll get the extra mass and energy, but you can’t beat gravity. Going bigger doesn’t make much of a difference. That being said, LeHigh 194 ME and 174 CF will expand at 900 FPS so that’ll work at 200 yards. Also good trigger fundamentals are required when shooting subsonic. I’d also consider the time of flight 0.6 seconds is a long time.
I have done 200 yards through a pulsar with my DTA Covert with subsonic 208 amax and 200 Lapua fmjbt on a 6” gong for shit and giggles but not something I’d ever consider for actual hunting. Also imagine doing it at night through a thermal.
#Subsonic rounds and the guns it use full
No offense but have you practice subsonic ukd shooting at 200 yards at night ?Īre you aware of the amount of vertical spread you get if you have an ES of 30-40 FPS ? Just between 190 and 210 yards you get 1 full mil of drop - you better be sure you have the right distance and a load that you can trust. Based on my ranges and known targets does anyone have any recommendations of flatter shooting subsonic rounds or do I just say fuck the neighbors and throw it on one of the 5.56 AR’s? Any info or experience from you knowledgeable hide members would be greatly appreciated!
#Subsonic rounds and the guns it use crack
I have plenty of 223, 6.5 grendel 22 WMR, 6.5 creed and other popular caliber rifles, SBR’s and PCC’s that I can suppress but you still get the crack of the round. I would prefer to keep it subsonic just for the quiet shots taken at night as I have some nosey neighbors about 6-700 yards to my sides (none to the front or back where the shooting lanes are). Most shots will likely be taken inside 100 but my property offers me ranges out to 200 and I would prefer to be able to cover the whole area if possible. However I don’t have enough faith in the accuracy shooting it with thermal out to 200 yards. I currently have a 300BLK SBR 8” barrel and it loves the 220 SMK’s for subs.
Hoping someone could chime in on this, I just purchased an AGM Rattler 35 to do some varmint/predator hunting and chicken coop defense (coyote, fox, bobcat and cougar).
