brom1971 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hi, bought a new Hushpower 410 3 shot, I expected it to be quiet but it's not. I'm using sub sonic ammo but it can be heard over 60 yards away. Has any one tried different ammo? Someone said there as quiet as an air rifle so I must be doing something wrong. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigman Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Got mine secondhand and its very good with most carts best with eley fourlong 2.5in But iv heard an read that they need to bed in alittle? i think the mod needs to soot up alittle? Also mines a sinlge barrel baikal heard these are quieter than the 3 shot due to the action and length of mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimfireboy Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you want quiet, use eley fourlongs and forget the others. They're much quieter than eleys own subsonic fourten loads. Don't know why, but they are? I've never found a quieter fourten cart anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinClarke Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I have a Mossberg 3 shot, and when i got it i was surprised at the noise aswell after hearing somebody shoot a single barrel hushpower which do sound like an air rifle. It doesn't matter which cartridges i use it's still not that quiet,just got to put up with it. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicykillgaz Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Subsonics are a waste of time I use to use lyalvale 21/2 or 3" or eley fourlongs. Once you've got a good 150-200 through it you'll start to notice a difference, although you'll never appreciate it fully as the shooter. Imo your better getting a mate to shoot whilst you stand 30-40yrds away and judge which cartridges are quietest. Then when you've decided on quietest find which kill/pattern best out of them and stock up, I preferred lyalvales as they have more shot in than eley or gamebore and had plastic shot cups so pattern better I used 3" on rabbits and 21/2 on roosting pigeons. But if using plastic wads make sure you have a quick check after each shot to make sure the wads not got caught up causing a blockage.
