tubba 38 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I've got one mate a lot quieter with subsonic. Its a cracking little gun for small vermin. I've been using Eley 3" Magnum subs in mine which provide some excellent kills. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post

JamesK 2 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 does it make much difference to normal carts i had a go of one and i've been spoiled by my remington 870 when it comes to pump action shotguns, the action of the mossberg is really shakey and it just doesn't feel really high quality to me, i can see the application for one and im sure it does its job really well but i wouldn't get one.

tubba 38 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 does it make much difference to normal carts Yes it doe's mate subsonic means they travel slower than the speed of sound, hence less noise. Sounds a bit like a plank of wood falling over. I use mine on ground where there are Cattle,horses and houses nearby and i have had no complaints up to yet. Quote Link to post

longbow 14 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Morning Gents, Hope you dont me asking a qestion in your topic. I have been considering getting one of these for all of the above reasons. Also I get tinitus due to the stupidity of not wearing ear defenders in my youth. Would you say its safe to use a hushpower with out ear defenders? Thanks in advance Longbow. Quote Link to post

Would you say its safe to use a hushpower with out ear defenders? Thanks in advance Longbow. I have a baikal 12g hushpower.........i bought it as i hate wearing ear defenders, also have shooting on and near horse land and i found that one bang from a normal shotgun and everything within a mile had left before i got there to shoot it (or at it) , yes perfectly safe to use without hearing defence (well the single barreled baikal is as thats what i have) It does quieten normal cartridges, but is very very quiet with subsonic/hushpower carts, i have put all sorts of 12g carts through mine and it works with them all, from SG - pigeon loads I had a moment once with mine whilst clay shooting with my brother in law when i couldn't hit anything now its clicked, with the wider barrel you need to keep the gun straight and block out the target then pull teh trigger.........i have shot a bit with mine since buying it last year and have since sold my standard 410 as its too noisey compared to the silenced 12.....i also have a cheap unsilenced 12g if anyone wnats it for £30 as its not going to get used much now Quote Link to post

No sorry i didnt make that clear, i know what subs are I just meant whether the hushpower makes much difference to noise levels of normal carts Why would you not use subsonic carts, surely the idea of having a silenced 410 is to minimise noise levels. Obviously the standard cartridge will be louder than the subsonic. Quote Link to post
COMPO 54 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 You might use normal cartridges as they are cheaper and also because they offer a better choice in shot sizes etc......the only subsonics i have been able to buy are 28gm number 7.5's for my 12g........i know they also do 32gm of number 6's in a subsonic cart (i am hoping to order 250 of them tomorrow) but i sometimes need and use, number 4's number 5's, bb's and AAA's......they all go through my moderated 12g and are quieter than when shot through an unmoderated gun, but no where near as quiet as the sub's Quote Link to post
tubba 38 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 The subsonics i use are Eley Extra long 75mm, 18 gram, no 6's. Try a box through your Yildiz and see how they compare to a normal cart. Quote Link to post
