A 22lr has enough "oomph" to kill things with a lung shot at 120-150y but i still dont recommend it,As i saw a 223 has enough oomph at 525y but that was just silly.

I still cant tell the difference between my suppressed 243 and my 308 the old mans 30/06 recoil wise they all go bang and give a bit of a push.
No Im not a big guy by any means. I had free rein with a sporterised brass butt plate 303 from around 13y old, got a very light but fucked majestic at 15y in 308.
Talking standard cals recoil is in your head literally.Its the noise you react to.

My 308 un braked un suppressed with correct body position and hold i can spot my shots.
My suppressed 243 leaps off the bi pod like a 18 year old boy leaps on a willing participant.
Admittedly this is due to a shitty plastic stock but actual rearward thrust into my shoulder? all the same I reckon.
Recoil- ask Greg if you can shoot one of his new 375s without a brake
