Tempted for a 5th? 90gn XTP subs makes a great small game option... 4.5gn of powder (in mine) makes hardly a peep with a suppressor!

interesting you have looked at 110 grain -with DOC back in eighties I was given 200 rounds of ex NZFS 110 grain .308 little stubby nosed bullet - My boss at Opotiki said the goat cullers did not like it - gave it to me to shoot some escappee goats Waioeka gorge - dropped deer well - but in my 18 1/2 barrel 788 was not nice to shoot bloody hell it was noisy ( no suppressors then ) no wonder the Goat boys Opotiki did not like it - was not pleasant to shoot at all
Me,
Kimber Adirondack in 308 running 190gr SUB-X @ 1060fps and another Adirondack in 6.5CM to push a little further.
Anyone got another caliber that they want to sell?
There's been a bit of a rejig in my rack, if it's a lone mission the dear old 1920s Mauser Oberndorf original sporting rifle "Kurz"model rebuilt in 6.5x47L still gets a walk, but it's not suppressed. Since I've been mostly hunting in company recently, if it's wallabies/goats/fallow the Schultz and Larsen Legacy in 223 gets the call, if there's the possibility of anything bigger then it's a fairly recent addition that I'm enjoying shooting a lot - a Kimber Hunter in 308.
mine has to be my 18inch 300 saum built on a defiance ruckus action , proof barrel, march scope and manners stock, load developed for 178g @ 2950fps, and we dropped a stag at 628m 2 weeks ago uptop of the tarasuas,
Bolt lugs sorry
