My Favorite Guns!!!!
The 300 Whisper!!
The TC shooter adopted this round very quickly. This is because the round is very well adapted to the Thompson Center Contender. There is very little case capacity and the TC. can handle any normal P.S.I. that this round puts out. This is good, because of the TC’s shorter pistol barrels can not burn all the powder in the larger capacity case’s. Another good thing about this round is that you can accurately shoot any bullets. Besides some of the production TC. barrel which can only really stabilize 180 gr. or under bullets do to slow twist rate of the rifling (1 in 9). This round is capable of being push at the same rate as a 7.62X39 (about 2100 fps) using a 110-125 gr. bullet in a 14 inch barrel. You can also use it to hunt deer or deer sized game, all you have to do it load it up to about 1800+ fps with a 150 gr. Ballistic Tip. The pistol silhouette shooters really like this round. They always say, “This round will knock down any ram that it hits.” A lot of the silhouette pistol shooter load these rounds with 168 gr. HPBT MK at a rate of about 1600+ fps for the chickens, pig, and turkeys. For the rams the shooters usually use a 180-190 gr. HPBT MK at 1500 fps. They need this extra weight to knock down the heavier rams. Right now I’m shooting my 300 Whisper in a 8 inch barrel at a rate of 1350 fps pushing a Hornida 180 gr. HPBT MK. its a very accurate round but I don’t know if its going fast enough to knock down a ram at 200 meters. I’ll let you know what happens when I try.
