TLM - kudos for a very informative and well prepared video.
Interesting to see that impact db seemed to follow (nearly) the suppressed discharge db.
Subsonic ammo is fun - and so few understand it (& benefits).

Great video, I liked it!
I know one thing, and that is when shooting a 1-8" twist 220 Swift with a 75 AMAX, through a Sico Harvester, the bullet strike on a coyote is for sure louder than the rifle itself.

Great video; thanks for making it. I do not think you were far enough away from the hog to conclusively say you were measuring only the sound of the bullet impact. At such a short distance, a decibel meter at the hog is definitely still picking up the sound of the rifle being fired. Even if your shots are normally at 30 yards or whatever, to truly understand what hog impact sounds like, you need to shoot from much farther away. I would suggest at least 150 yards. 250 would be better.

He also stood down by the hog as I was shooting to get the readings. Afterwards he commented on how impressed he was, saying the rifle report was blown out by the bullet impact.
