Re: 300 Whisper
Chris Snow, not to contradict you, and it seems plausible to me that the same bullet shot subsonic will sound the same fired in 308 and 300 whisper cases, but the 308 case is larger and might play a role here. It would be nice to compare 308 and 300 whisper fired from bolt action rifles with the same barrel length, same make, and same suppressor. I wish someone would do that and share with us. Until then, it is only a guess. Bolt action 308 offers all that bolt action 300 whisper does and more unless the accuracy and quietness of the 300 whisper are better than those of the 308. This is my argument to myself not to get the 300 whisper bolt. The 308 case is way too big for a subsonic load, and some stated that uneven ignition may cause accuracy problems.
Tansinator, just to clarify, a 30-round ar15 mag will take 30 rounds of 300 whisper loaded with 240 grain smk and work fine, right?
