    Suppressor for 20 inch 6.5 PRC

    Hey guys, putting together a 6.5 PRC plan and looking at the DPT website, their over barrel center fire suppressor is good for case capacity up to 30-06.

    6.5 PRC has a lower case capacity than 30-06 by about 6 grains of H20,
    So it should be sweet to run a non magnum center fire can right? It's not at 20 inches yet but it may end up at that length.

    I do have a hardy gen 5 stealth but if I can save a couple hundred grams by running the DPT I'd be all about it.

    Hardy Compact is good for that powder volume. I run one on my Saum.

    They make great stuff, I may just end up using my gen 5 on it. The compact must be a similar size to the DPT?

    Looking at their websites (Hardy and DPT) they look almost identical in external dimensions.

    I think the DPT magnum and std have the same amount forward the magnum just comes back further.
