Yea, stainless the first in line, especially if it's a mag cal. Enjoy.
Remove one baffle and shoot it, that will give you an idea of what difference one baffle makes.Quote:

I always add two baffles from brand new and then off I go

I recently add 2 baffles while at range. I did notice any difference with supers, didn't try subs. As a side note when i took supressor off completly and got the same point of impact on target, supprised me that did. Noise was a lot more affensive though
One experiment you can do is as follow:
Use a normal pair of earmuffs ( it does not work with electronic ear muffs)
Shoot 1 round with bare muzzle.
Then shoot 1 round with the suppressor and just 1 baffle ( the front one preferably).
Then shoot 1 round with a second baffle in place
And carry on with each extra baffle you have.
The ear muffs act as a filter and will make you appreciate much better how each baffles decrease the sound reduction.
Only run 2 baffles on my 308 to keep it short as possible, it doesn't seem to make any difference to running 4 so I've just stuck with it
That is a cracker foto.Quote:

You get quoted 'lightest DPT on the market '- because your getting the minimum number of baffles at purchase off the shelf...
I also run a Gunworks suppressor - older Spartan style, longer than the DPT but great recoil/noise reduction. About the same weight with the 6 baffle DPT. Just an opinion of course.
Yeah likewise. I struggle to notice any difference with an extra baffle, also no difference with a baffle or two less. A few of my suppressors have a baffle or two removed.Quote:

Yes, . I have try dpt with 7 baffles and standard 4 baffles, it’s definitely quieter but not in huge difference.
One baffle makes no difference to me.
I notice the noise reduction with extra baffles way more when shooting subs,full power loads I just run standard baffle setup,4 I think it it but might drop a couple to shorten and lighten things up.
I’ve shot different types of suppressor and I recon down range it’s hard to tell a difference between them it’s only at the shooter it’s noticeable

I’ve run various brands of suppressor over the years. Gunworks consistently perform well. DPT performs well on 16” .308 with extra S/S baffle, both subs and supers. Sonic 35 and 45 both performed well on .223’s. The 45 did have a flaw though, isolator tube developed a hole in isolator tube and starts to etch barrel. Aimsport on 6.5CM appears to be the most effective, noticeably quieter than 223 on the mound at range. Waitaki can on AR was probably best performer, hunting mate didn’t even know I’d fired shots from maybe 50 m down track. Sonic 35 appears marginally quieter than Gunworks unit but my main work rifle, Howa, groups better with GW unit so that stays paired with that rifle. Sonic lives on NV equiped rifle and does the job. There’s been a couple of other brands as well, also did the job. Suppressor performance is hard to gauge without expensive testing gear as Simon Gibson from R&R magazine found out. My test is whether I can get whole mob of goats or deer without them getting too disturbed of without residents/mop getting upset when shooting near residential/public areas. Just my 2c. Off to shoot me some goats, ‘later guys.
Ryan if you want to sell those 2 extra baffles flick me message, cheersQuote:

Added a baffle to my 7mmSAUM. Did a check zero with it today for Fiordland. To answer my own question, the difference was slight but enough to just notice it. Two baffles would have made a good difference but it’s my super pig so don’t want to make it too much longer. Happy with the small improvement considering I didn’t really have a problem in the first place.
