78 yard 308 subsonic deer kill
 

I have been trying to shoot a deer with a subsonic bullet on video for a while now. It's harder than it looks. The deer, the camera, and I don't always cooperate. Bow hunting with a rifle at 78 yards. I know of no other way to explain it.

The gun is a Savage 10 precision carbine threaded by TT.
The suppressor is a AAC Cyclone.
The load is 11.6 grs of Trail boss, Nosler brass, Win mag primer, and a 225 Outlaw State bullet. Average velocity is 1055 fps.


In this video a deer dies. If you have a problem with this, DO NOT WATCH THIS VID......

Congrads Alleycat, That must have took some jugling. Did you have your camera on a tripod?

I use this.

That is freaking awsome. Was that a lungshot? what scope do you have posted on your photo album with the calibrated reticle to 200?
Again good shooting and video! thanks for sharing.

Awsome. That rig is QUIET. Now you know the next step is an all subsonic hunting dvd.

It's a Pride Fowler .22LR scope. A subsonic bullet and a .22LR have very similar trajectory's. I used this scope for my Whisper until my CZ 452 came along. We do a lot of longer range shooting so I started putting dual use scopes on my guns. The shot hit in the front of the shoulder, past through a lung, the liver, and ended up hitting the back ham. I did not find the bullet.
The camera was directly above the gun between the scope and the suppressor. Notice that stopping the deer was the loudest sound.

I wish we could use silencers down here to hunt game animals. We can use them on non-game animals (pigs, yotes, ect...). Maybe that will change one day. It's pretty crazy .... I live on 650 acres and about the last 30 minutes of usable light during deer season - you can hear a gun shot about once every 30 seconds. BOOM - BOOOM - BOOOOM - it would be nice if we could silence some of them.

Excellent shooting by the way. Deer went down quick - seen a lot run further when hit by supersonics. Good clean kill.

Yeah, it's downright ridiculous where I hunt in Central Texas. 2 years ago on opening morning of deer season, I counted ~30 shots in the first 10 minutes of daylight. I say 2 years ago, because that is the last time I will hunt the opening morning of deer season on that land. It ruins the experience.

AC,
I'm going to be loading up for my 40XBT, also use a Cyclone after finished proofing starting w/10g of TB 175 BTHP I was wondering what the twist and length is on your Savage ?

Thanks.

Nice kill too.
