Thread: Suppresser Question

as others have said you'll lose a little performance the smaller the cal the worse it will be ie a 223 trough a 30 cal (308 suppressor) will be worse than a 6.5 trough a 30cal suppressor having said that a 30cal should be fine on all 3 as far as being able to shoot without muffs goes

I swap my.223 suppressor between my .223AR and my .22AR Dedicated upper works MINT on both !

Ah, thanks!

I thought suppressors were more rated "up to" a certain calibre rather than calibre specific?

For example my Hardy IV on my 308 I thought was just centerfire rated and one of the calibres included in the specs was 308. As far as I know it isn't a specific "308 suppressor". Am I wrong?

They do have different sized holes as well that cover ranges of calibres, but generally they are the same. As far as the 308 suppressor on a 223 it should be about as good as a 223 suppressor because although the hole is bigger, you'll likely find the whole thing bigger. I know the Gunworks ones are like that. I used the same one on my 308 and 243 till I bought a couple or three more.

Hi,

Quite a few variables involved, which effect whether the larger cal suppressor will be louder or not ( calibre, barrel length, suppressor size / type etc .)

However, with a well suppressing suppressor overall, the difference will be somewhat minimal.

As an example, our jet-Z COMPACT .25 calibre suppressor will have c. 29-32 dB of net sound suppression on a 6.5x55 rifle, if a .30 cal COMPACT is used, the net sound suppression is typically c. 27-28 dB

Best Regards!

That sounds the wrong way around to me @Smiddy.
Surely 223 hole will be too small for 308???

Recipe for disaster I have put my 243 DPT on my AR223 just to try it out worked fine and did notice a lot more gas in the face and the rounds ejected further away due to the bolt speed increased.

I've used my 6.5 suppressor on the .22lr and .22magnum and it was fine

Volume of the suppressor is more critical then a slightly larger muzzle hole. I have about a 8mm muzzle hole my 22 and its quieter then a crickets fart.
