Has anyone casted some 400-500 grain soft 4570 boolits for hunting suppressed? if so could you share some suggestions on Molds. Id rather not reinvent the wheel. Also Id like to hear your results on actual game.
Thanks for any replies

I apologize for asking a question to a question, but why? Under 1050ish, yes it will "Keel" but also be a lobbing artillery piece just out to a hundred. Stealth hunting across a fence? Why not push it up to about 1600-1800 if not more and know your not banging your ears out and very confident boiler room to 100.
Why?..... because of liberal limits on deer in areas (states) i hunt, and in the specific public areas i hunt shots are about 90 yds max usually 50-70, I hunt for meat and have short windows of opportunity, some areas I hunt are only open for a week a yr. i have killed 2 deer and 3 hogs in a days hunt, but that is difficult to pull off. Making alot of noise doesn't help with multiples. A friend of mine started using a suppressor and is seeing and taking more game after the first shot. He is shooting a 35 whelen at supersonic velocities so maybe subs are less than necessary. I was just wondering if anyone here did shoot game with 45-70 at subsonic velocity? if they had good results? and if so some help with prefered powders, projectiles etc. I just got my first suppressor.
