Thread: first time using center fire

Hi team,

Got my 1st centre rife rifle (Ruger American 0.308) few weeks ago but just tried it out today
a bit nervous at the start, I learn things as I go and mostly from YouTube and reading forums.
I checked, double checked and triple checked everything, to make sure the rifle was ok and safe to fire.

1st shoot was fired and it was way out of the target sheet,
the scope needs some adjustment but oh well... that's for another day,
as the noise was a bit louder than my liking.

Bullet was Fiocchi 0.308W subsonic 200 gr and it was as loud as CCI 0.22 1640 PFS 32GR.



Both rifles have ghost silencers with 7 baffles.



is there a factory bullet (0.308W subsonic) that is not as noisy but powerful enough to take down a rogue bull at 150 yards (if necessary)?

or I better off get a 300blackout setup with subsonic

Thank you for the info and advice
