    What should I be looking at?

    Also what's the noise like out of a 16 or 20 inch barrel?
    Compared to suppressed 223

    I guess suppressing isn't a option?!
    Had a 44mag rossi and a 30-30 rossi suppressed, liked them both but found the 30-30 more useful for my kind of hunting. The 44 needed a bit of work to get it nice and slick.
    Am loading cast gas check 150gr HP made by a forum member ($15 for 50) and 17 grains of AR2207 it costs only a few cents a round.
    Cutting the mag was easy, did it myself. Its only 4+1 now but its nice and quiet.
    Shot sick 2 year old bull with it and a truckload of goats, longest 162 yards.

    You would get more range with the 30-30 and putting a scope on it is easier if you change your mind.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
