My question to you guys who have been using suppressors for a long time especially on Magnums , do you experience a lose suppressor after one to two shots? and is there a way to stop it ?
I have my 223 and 6.5x55 suppressed and this doesn't happen probably due to less boom coming out the end.
I talked to me mate Rod and he said his 30 06 came lose the other day at the range so maybe it is a reasonably common to have them loosen up a little.

Have an internet hunt for the 'snap method'.

It's probably down to a half thread cut.
