Thread: Suppressing a Rossi Puma 92 in 44mag

So the whole question of subsonic is pretty interesting. If we say for sake of argument that an effective target fps for subs is 1020. So a bit of margin for elevation, barometric pressure, a generous powder measure etc.

Say further, that a desirable bullet weight at that fps is between 220 and 300 grains.

What diff does it make to range and drop whether that bullet exits say a 308, a 303B, a 300 Blackout, a 44mag, a 357mag etc etc - all other relevant things being equal ?

Its not like BC is going to matter, correct? Not at 100m. Killing effectiveness will vary depending on SD and projectile format, like RN vs FP vs HP. Or whether deep penetration is required, or great expansion. Etc and so on. But none of that matters to trajectory. As far as trajectory within 100m goes, calibre makes little diff if bullet weight and velocity are the same. What am I missing?
