Beagle boy Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Evening all I've got a pedretti 12g hushpower which is great but I've got the chance to swap it for a baikel hushpower 410. Only thing I use it for is squirrels pigeons and rabbits near a paddock with a wooded edge, would the 410 be a lot quieter than the 12g? I use eley sub sonics in it now would I need sub 410 carts aswell? Cheers rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remmy1100 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 ive had bakel 410 and my mate uses one it will be quieter than the 12g but you will still get a report when using it near the woods even when using sub cartridges but out in the field with bit winds you will hear it but anything 50 yards away wont,i used to just use 21/2 inch carts cheaper by far and not great deal noiser ive shot rabbits sitting metres apart without them bolting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7daysinaweek Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 i have a fully moderated 12g pedretti hushpower also and have had two other fully moderated .410 pedretti hushpower as remmy says yes there will be a reduction in noise from the 12 to the 410 but in my own experience it will not be huge. if shooting out away from woods or obstruction and into a wind the difference is noteable but again not huge. i tested this myself when i had both of the guns, my friend shot both the guns one after another in the same direction and i stood abouts fifty yards away and was amazed at how much the 12 moderated the rapport. atb 7diaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle boy Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Cheers for the reply lads Reckon I should just stick with the 12g then? At least there's abit more range than the 410 I suppose Cheers rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I posted several times. It's the shells that's the x factor with these specialised applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle boy Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I use subs in the hushpower 12g and it's is loads quieter than a std 12 but it does carry in woodlands. I was just wandering if a silenced 410 would be a lot quieter Cheers rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
