Thread: New Hardy suppressors

I agree about being too short - muzzle pressure is going to be through the roof (IIRC Quickload can give you this info pretty accurately?) - recipe for a rifle grenade IMO

Dan told me they test them on a 16 inch barrel with no problems.......... I've got a crash helmet! do you think I shoot with that on.

Very much doubt Dan tests his suppressors on a 16inch Magnum Barrel. GW's advice will be based on what is safe for a Magnum GW's suppressor. As for having a barrel under 22inch on a 7mm Mag, why waste powder? A 280, with a 22inch barrel and the lighter and shorter GW's suppressor would fit the bill out to 700y and with much less blow, but still plenty of go.

A mate has one on a 7 rem mag thompson centre cut down to 16 inch and goes good as with better than moa out to 500 . he just did it because he could and he has got three other magnums cut down and suppressed as well.they certainly make a nice balanced easy to carry rifle!

I heard Dan was on his honeymoon, which may be why he hasnt responded to various emails.

Hi Andy, what make of suppressor does your mate have on his Magnums? Also, what materials is it made of, e.g. stainless steel? Thats impressive for a suppressor to handle that sort of abuse. It's always good to know what different suppressors can handle. How many rounds through the 16 inch 7mm Rem Mag barrel so far?
