NitroX, on this sort of hunting its almost everytime long distance shooting from 100 meters up to more than 200 meters. You aim at body and with FMJ its no problem with the meat. This I shot in the head at a distance of 120 meters, but I aimed at body:). With silencer your rifle groups are more accurate, I use silencer for both .308 and 9,3x62. Good for recoil also. It was cold, but It was a nice day and I were wearing good clothes.
