What cartridge to pair with night vision/thermal?
« on: December 15, 2017, 12:13:23 PM »
I have seen some threads lately on night vision from other members. What round is everyone shooting? Just wondering since I have a night vision and thermal on the way.

Saving the fur or not, 6.5 Grendle or 25-45 if not, 204, 20 Practical or 223 if you are.  I'm assuming an AR.  These are all light kicking rounds, easier on your electronics.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

suppressed? subsonic?   I always wanted to do that with NV    call yotes in the middle of the night and not wake everyone up, call the law, just would avoid unnecessary hassle.
