.224 Valkyrie on a Texas hog hunt

[AndyA]

I recently had the opportunity to use a 224 Valkyrie while pig hunting in Texas. The ammo supplied was factory loaded 90gr Fusion MSR running at 2700 fps according to the box. I put my suppressor on and headed out. I gotta say I was happy with the setup as the noise was less than I get with a suppressed 223 and recoil was very low. Here are some pics:

Is that perceived sound? The 223 and 224V are literally the same with the Valkyrie being the slightly larger capacity. I know running suppressed the velocity and powder are factors, just curious about the noise level.
