    For ChrisF: I have not heard of many failures of the mag suppressors from dpt with a 300win mag so far.
    But as you say it is your choice to go with other materials.

    For distant stalker: usually it should not take you more than one or two rounds to kill a deer,we can't really call that overheating a suppressor ,can we? :-) ( punt intended)

    I think you'll find that Chris was talking bigger than 300wm, as was I, talked to dpt about my 300 blaser, it is to big for one of his cans unfortunately as that was my first choice.

    Dam haven't been on here for a while. Shooting long range takes practice, practice on range is where you put more rounds down the tube and have to wait to cool down. Gets old quickly.
    Also shooting tahr etc you can end up with a few shots off quickly. Probably not enough to get suppressor to temps that mirage be too much but up in the cold it doesn't take much for this to happen... Finally the weight of magnum suppressors is excessive for the way I use mine. Would rather carry a pair of earmuffs/plugs

    I agree. On magnum rifles especially for long range work fit a brake. You have plenty time to put ear plugs or muffs on usually.
    In my experience suppressors only do a half ass job of reducing recoil and muzzle flip on a magnum rifle. Good on 223s and medium calibres though for bush hunting.
