375 Whisper
Hi Guys,
After shooting a 300 Whisper for some time with 240gr MK at sub speeds with a suppressor I soon found out that that bullet BC doesn't matter. Regardless of bullet shape or BC anything past 100yds is going to have a huge drop....like throwing bricks. On game results is like shooting nitting needes unless major bone is hit. Because the bullets don't expand and very rarely tumble.. the only way to get better performance is larger diameter. So a 358 whipser or to my thinking a 375 with a big flat point bullet would be the way to go. I'm toying up bewteen the 375 whipser (I know it will be super accurate) or by using a pistol cartridge like the 45 colt.
To me the 358 or 375 might be the way to go as it will be an improvement on the 300 with neglible increase in sound signature. I'm thinking that a 45 cal bullet flight could be quite noisey with all that frontal area.
