I'm looking to get into the suppressed world. I want to build a short barreled tactical style rifle to host a suppressor. My dilemma is, I don't know what caliber to go with. I want something that I can shoot long range and hunt predators and deer with. I have very little experience with suppressors so I don't know if one caliber "sounds" better than another when suppressed. However, I am FULLY aware of subsonic vs supersonic through a suppressor. I would ideally like to shoot supersonic because I want to keep all the attributes of a full powered rifle cartridge. I have been heavily considering 308 win, but I am curious if a 6.5 "suppresses" just as well. The main cartridge I have been considering building my rifle for is 7SAUM, 6.5x284, 6.5 SAUM, 6.5 PRC, or 308win. Maybe this is a stupid question and all supersonic cartridges sound the same? I have no idea, so if someone with experience with sending a lot of different rounds through suppressors could educate me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
