    or basically as fast as possible as I can get my hands on.

    Pacnor was awesome for doing this but they have recently had a fire

    trueflights 1-8 premium suppressor is about as fast as I have found locally but before I go with that i'm keen to see if there's anything Iv missed

    Why? they are both for subsonic rifles, and faster twist rates deliver more energy and stability with the bullets I want to use
    What are these projectiles? Do, pray tell
