Thread: sonic suppresor

Hi all ive got a a sonic suppresor on my 308 and ive just brought a 300 wm.
My question is will the suppresor be ok for the 300?
Thanks

Dont know about the sonic ones specifically, but pretty much every manufacturer has a larger, more robust supressor for calibres bigger than the 30-06.

I would be hesitant to use it on the win mag, especially as the sonics are all alloy and pretty lightweight. Might work or it might bulge/pop up and then you won't have a supressor for either rifle

You will want to use a magnum suppressor FH.

ok thank you

I agree with @Neckshot I would not risk using that sonic on the magnum better off PM'ing DPT or getting hold of gunworks

What's the difference in muzzle pressure from one to the other?

There is about an extra 50% powder capacity in the 300 mag, Gunna be slower powder no doubt but thats got to equate in a fairly significant raise in the volume of gas

i have no idea.

I am not recommending it but if they go alright on 16-18 inch 308 should be fine on 24-26 mag you would have thought(at least I would have)
Volume of gas I would think is largely irrelevant,pressure at muzzle is what will fuck things.

But then I am certainly not an expert on such matters.

The extra volume of gas will add pressure in the expansion chambers of the moderator.

You basically have a pressurised chamber with a small outlet, If you add more gas to the chamber you will increase pressure as you still only have the same size outlet. Like putting your thumb over the end of a hose.
Pressure is just a function of volume and mass
