power 308/7.62x51?
It’s an intriguing idea, however I really have to question whether it is effective enough to make it worth the $$ investment and the federal colonoscopy.
Thanks

I see them quite often at the club range I shoot on. 223 to 338 Lapua.
They reduce the blast considerably. a bolt gun with subsonic ammo is very quiet. supersonic reduces need for earpro but still a good report
A friend of mine has one on his .300 Win. Mag.

The main thing is the negative blast is gone. It makes the recoil feel much less too, but I think that is more mental. It makes a crack downrange but it is not that loud. I have also shot a .308 Win. at the CSA shoots with a suppressor. I liked it very much and wanted one. For the same reasons. The same fellow had one in .300 AAC that was dead quiet. I don't know how to describe it, it feels like a mis-fire, just a click then "bong!" on the steel. I guess that was what it was designed for. J.D. Jones actually designed the original for full auto suppressed use. An unheard concept at the time for a longer range round. He also has the same concept down to .30 Luger loaded with 220 gr. bullets! He was way ahead of his time on that stuff. I just don't think he had the marketing model down, compared to today's tactical climate.
Here is a couple short vids of him shooting it

Now his tinkering has been done over a span of a few years and all legally done. It takes lots of patience and a little money. A Ruger in .300 WM and his AR10 in .308. He has gone through the proper paperwork and been issued the class III stamp for his own manufactured suppressors. He cannot sell them or transfer them as I understand. They are only for his use and he still had to pay the $200 and wait for the paperwork. The unit has some mandated information stamped into it also. They are made from titanium. It's all available info online. FYI
Do you really NEED another hobby?! lol
I run a suppressor on

my 300 Whisper both subs and supers, 6.5 Grendel, 7-08, 308, 375 H&H and 450 Bushmaster. Definitely worth it.
I don't mind spending a little time or money

But I'd like ONE suppressor for general rifle use (.22-45) and another for selected handgun (9mm-45). I give the rimfire unit special credit.
Is there a unit that is adaptable to multi-caliber use on those two platforms. Keeping it simple? A guy could have $2k tied up in two suppressors that work on so much. Rather than $10K on a safe full of cans and adapters. It looks like it could get out of hand real fast as another side hobby.

It handles everything from the smallest centerfire up to 458 Win Mag. Can easily be converted to a piston for use on any pistol. I’ve had mine for five years and highly recommend it.
