Thread: Calibre for over a Deer Dog

my setter will duck behind me when the rifle comes up. Suppressed 243.
Still not good for dog ears in front of the muzzle.
I guess if he dose not reload he is stuck with something that offered factory subsonics for the short range stuff.
For the longer shots the dog is probably not pointing and he would have to hand feed in a fast round.
Would still be limited to 150-200 mtr depending upon which he way goes.
300 whisper or 35 (38 or 357) or 45 cal pistol type.
