    Its a pussy to shoot with a suppressor. 150 to 212 grain projectiles and my accubond 180 grain gets a tad over 2920 fps. Lozt a number of animals with the 270 as they didnt fall over straight away.
    Never ever had that with the wsm
    #1 the OP said unsuppressed so makes it more like a feral cat than a kitten

    #2 stop taking pop shots and learn how to track
