I am going to buy a Thompson Contender Carbine in 300 whisper and want to know if an 18inch barrell is a good choice or should I go shorter for hunting only? I live in Alabama and cannot legally hunt with a suppressed weapon so what can I expect the noise level to be for an unsuppressed weapon with supersonic loads? Performance on deer and primarily coyote? The hunting I will be in timbered areas which are pretty thick. Will this caliber buck brush? The main reason I want it is a 22 cal bullet will be easily deflected where as a 30 cal wont for 100yd or under coyote dispatch am I correct in this assumption? One last thing will the custom shop TC barrell for this caliber do as well as the SSK? Please any help would be appreciated.
