    The next one I might chamber in 9mm with a gradual throat reamed in, to squeeze 9mm lead bullets down to .303 and thus have better BC bullets emerge at slightly higher velocity (anyone remember the Myra Extruder?). Lead ball 9mm is much cheaper than .32ACP.
    I just remembered I made this a few years back, a bit of old 303 barrel that acted as a liner in a shotgun, on top of that I built the suppressor, extractor and chambered it for 32 ACP. A guy wanted it for dispatching sheep and said he could get to within 20 yards or so but wanted it super quiet.

    I ended up quite incredible and was just about silent and even though a rough old bit of barrel the bloody thing was hitting fence posts at 70 yards
