No I don't care what you call them. I'm questioning wether we need super quiet or just nicely reduced.
Lately I have been using my .25 more. It has a pretty quiet in shroud set up. Now the sound of impact. At roughly 50fpe the impact is very loud. I only get followup shots if I miss, and don't hit a tree or something.
So realistically once the bark is tamed, for hunting do we need more? My .25s impacts on squirrels and Starlings is much louder with my most effective ammo, Predator Polymags or JSB Hades. I am guessing that they dump more of their energy into these targets. Not to say impacts with a round nose pellet is quiet. The flock all take off at that noise as well.
