    The question I have is for those of you who have gone from say 20 to 18 or 16 with a standard suppressor in 308.
    Is there much volume increase as you go shorter?

    Is 18 the happy medium for velocity and noise reduction.
    I ask this because I'm in the same situation with a 308 and am looking for the best balance and noise control.
    Primarily a bush to 350 rifle and I dont plan on reloading for it.
    Micky Duck and dannyb like this.
