On 1 of our suppressors for a 223 we run 2 SS baffles but the MK 11 on the 243 is quieter.

Professional culling. Funnily enough on one of them it wasn't the baffles it was the piece that your barrel threads into that gave out. The blast coming back off the first baffle I guess. Even that piece on my .308 is showing etching.
But at the end of the day there was no complaints as they had a significant amount of rounds through them and they were on short barrels. Just wear and tear.
Even two of mine must be due to give at some point. Had in the thousands of rounds and short barrels. Just hope it doesn't happen mid run ....be a loud few days

preventative maintainence....regular checks and scheduled replacement....might not be silly idea then.......
great you have given clarification....for a 2 shots a month fella like myself....maybe 40 on 6monthly wallaby day....I cannot ever see me wearing one out.

now this will be interesting....IF DPT built one specifically for you high volume guys....say,made first chamber bit all stainless as well as first baffle.....and it weighed more and cost more...would you fellas get on board and buy them???

Just be careful Googling DPT. Don’t add in search parameters ‘farmgirllacy’, OF, TikTok or Twitter.
At least not on your work computer or when the Mrs is looking.

A lot of the guys do have stainless suppressors if they can find them, so yes. With a lot of the rifles being cut right down for ease of use quite often some of the guys are looking to add weight to the front. One of the mates replaced all of his baffles with stainless ones for this reason.
Problem is it is such a small market. They probably would have been a bit more popular if ARs and the likes were still available.
Being a far more durable material surely they could be made a touch smaller too.

All the suppressors that I've heard of blowing up were lightweight ones on short barrels (15" or less) and/or high volume shooting.
I know a few professionals and they all use stainless or stainless core suppressors.
For us recreational guys, the dpt is a great balance of all factors as pointed out above.

I just got a DPT for a new 17 HMR and seems to do the trick very well for me. I wont be a high user of the 17HMR but it is the same thread as the other cheaper cans for the 22 so as an amateur compared to some of the others here - I like mine, was good price and seems easy to clean
