How important is it to match the Suppresser to the caliber. If you had a spare 308 suppressor in as new condition how would it perform on a 6.5 or 223 caliber ? What if any problems would it / could it create or would it be fine ?

Be louder? Maybe not even gas flow around the bullet. Give it a whirl and see what happens?
Keen to hear how it goes wondered about this myself, smaller bullet wont cause any damage but as above less resistance through the hole may mean less sound deadening. Do you have one in the correct cal to compare against?
Have used 308 suppressors on .243s (2 different brands) and it was a little louder, but not much.
Yeah they work fine but may not deaden the sound as well. Odly enough my old .22 Parker and Hale steel suppressor is the best .17 HMR suppressor I have used so far.
Had a 338 suppressor on a 308 worked very well, same one is mounted on my 7mm and still works dam well
Is it the model with internal washers or the solid central short tube ?Quote:

I had no idea, what if I put my 223 suppressor on my .22? O.O
That ll be fine. I was wondering about 30 cal to 223 cal so quite a differenceQuote:

I have a question about suppressors. Do they have to be a certain length. It seems the supprrssors ive seen on the forum are really long compared to others ive seen
I've got 4 different rimfire suppressors and the parker hale ia by far the best but never tried it on the hummer so gonna give it a try over easter
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!Quote:

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.Quote:

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

That sounds the wrong way around to me @Smiddy.Quote:

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.
how quiet is a crickets fart?????:ORLY:Quote:
