    Calibre for over a Deer Dog

    Gidday

    A cobber is after a bolt action rifle to shoot suppressed over a pointing dog in the bush. He's got the usual 308, 270 and 223 but doesn't think they are as quiet as he'd like.

    We have been discussing the likes of the 300 BLK and 7.62x39 and I wonder about a 44 Mag.

    He doesn't reload yet either so thats a big limiting factor. He's a very capable dog trainer and hunter, just not a gun nut!

    Any thoughts.
