    Hi Mate,

    I've got on my xmas shopping list a The Ruger American RifleŽ Ranch Bolt-Action Rifle Models
    in AAC 300 blackout which given the price point for these might be a option to start at. I like the 16.5 inch barrel already for a suppressor like a little DPT or something.

    Could you get a Boyd's for that? don't know they're still pretty new on the scene. It has a nice 4 shot rotary mag and you could happily shoot subsonic loads with a 225 or 112 or 125 super loads quite happily with not much more recoil than a 223.

    I agree with scribe tho a well placed 223 round in 55gr blitz (outback) or Hornady v-max is more than enough explosively for neck shots to drop the animal pretty much on the spot.

    Just another thought? and has a very good price tag. Factory rounds a bit pricey but I'm sure there's guys who'd be happy to get you some handloads to try.

    Good luck on the search...

    Yes spoke to someone today about this in .223 1/8 twist.
    what I know is the 40gn will pin hole in the 1/9 and I have left that as a base so far.
    But we all can learn something from someone after you spit out the bones
    Thanks for the idea, it will be put into the hat for a look at .
