Quietest Deer Caliber, Rifle, Suppressor Combo

[General RE LEE]

I got some 188 grain Discreet Ballistic all copper 300 Blackout projectiles and loaded up some handloads. I will say the Hornady Sub X are silly accurate as well.

I have good results with the Hornady Sub Sonics. The problem is finding the powder to load them sub on a 308. Trail Boss is impossible to find.

6.5 Grendel tbac ultra 7 is the hands down best suppressed hunting rifle in my opinion

Everyone who has shot mine has been very impressed. Great combo.

Thanks everyone for the replies, now which rifle? I'm going with a 6.5 Creedmoor because its big enough for deer, doesn't seem any or much louder than similar deer calibers, is widely available, and its seems most rifles are accurate in it.

For the rifle I'm deciding between the Tikka T3x Compact Tactical Stainless 20' and the Browning X-Bolt Speed 18', because both are threaded and foam filled. I am leaning towards the Tikka because its heavier and I mostly rifle hunt out of box stands with a fairly short walk. What are y'all's thoughts? Also, would you recommend the adjustable cheek piece on the stock? I'm leaning toward not getting it because I saw somewhere that it was hollow, where the normal stock is foam filled.

This is a great choice. 16-20” barrels are great with cans. Personally I like 16s but an 18-20 will get that muzzle away from your head a bit and help with sound. We shoot ALOT of cans on a lot of platforms and I can tell you without reservation to get a PTR Vent 1 or the CAT JL. This will give you the best suppression by far. They are insanely quiet. Like a whole different ball game. Favorite ammo for short barrels is hotline munitions 124 VLR4 monolithic in 6.5 CM. Discreet ballistics supersonic division. Exceptional lathe turned bullet And David loads them With short barrels in mind. You should be at or over 2800 with those barrel lengths. We’ve killed a lot of game with that bullet out of hand loads. Second choice would be the Hornady outfitter with 120 CX. Another great bulletin that will be great for white tails to elk. No experience with the tikka but I got my dad the browning xbolt speed 18 and it’s been great. He needed a lighter recoil suppressed rifle at his age and this worked really well. I would still wear earpro with whatever silencer you get since you have such a hearing issue.
