Very nice video and good kill!! The crack you hear in the video is the bullet breaking the sound barrier, which occurs on all supersonic rounds down range. I don't think you even hear the rifle! Nice!

Also, not all suppressors are created equal. There are several I have shot that were louder, even with subs. Plus, I run a 300 Win Mag magnum size can, which has more volume, and is quieter than a smaller volume suppressor.
Didn't think about mentioning that I'm doing the same thing.

There is a trick to getting subs quiet, or quieter. For example, I have several loads with the same bullet for an AR-15 vs a bolt gun. In an AR-15, you need to fill the case up with a slower burning powder to make the action cycle. In a bolt gun, all you need is the bullet going subsonic, so less powder of a faster burning powder will be quieter, and make the round more efficient to shoot better. The bolt gun load developed for my bolt gun is quieter than the AR-15 load, since the bolt gun load has less powder (i.e.- less bang!).
Also, not all suppressors are created equal. There are several I have shot that were louder, even with subs. Plus, I run a 300 Win Mag magnum size can, which has more volume, and is quieter than a smaller volume suppressor. I was hoping you'd chime in. I currently have a SilencerCo Hybrid floating in purgatory, I figure when it gets here that I'll be coming to you for an expensive visit. I bought some whatevers when I had the opportunity to borrow a suppressor for a weekend, simply for the snicker factor, but I'd like to have a stash once I get my hands on my own.

Rabbit hunting with a suppressed 22 pistol and a flashlight is aout as much fun as you can have hunting. 
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
