Looking for a little info from the suppressor crowd. I am looking to get my first one and I will probably set up a rifle specifically for this project. This is really more a question of what is the best round to start with for a suppressed hunting rifle. I was eyeballing the 338 ARC pretty hard, but with all things equal as far as FPS goes would a 458 socom be a better option for hunting? Are there any rounds that are known to be particularly difficult as far as feeding and functioning that I should stay away from? I have a short barreled 338 lapua that I will probably eventually get a can for as well, but for this one I want to set up a rig to run true subsonic suppressed rounds but I would like to get as much kinetic energy as possible for hunting.
