Thread: supressing 243

Dont expect her to enjoy carrying it if you get a MAE

she will survive I remember when I was a skinny rake lugging a military mauser around the place when that's all you've got you learn to harden up and get on with it different story if money was no object I like the maes never had a problem with them

87 HPBT
Yip good out to 270m or so, which is the max range I've shot it.

My Ruger M77 .243 is currently being shortened by Hugh Bradley to 18in, he is then fitting a A-Tec suppressor to it, will lighten it up somewhat, that said I still have my MAE over barrel I can use if I wish.
Thread remains 1/2 x 20, and will continue to run Sierra 85g HPBT at about 3100fps.

Ran a model 7 at 16in 85gn tsx at 3k dpt supp handloads of 2206

Really good shot goats pigs sika reds max I shot was 250yds most ran a few yds only recovered 1 bullet in the shield on the off side of a big boar taken at about 100yds as you can tell I like them.

The smallest and lightest model from us for the .243 Win, is the SL5i

Fits on the palm of your hand, fully welded stainless steel construction and weighing c. 340 grams.

If one wants to use it on larger calibres, go with the .30 calibre.

If only wishing to use on 6.5x55, .243 and and anythiging smaller, then the .25 calibre one.

Best Regards!

shit that's one small suppressor how well does it work

They're pretty good man. Was impressed with my SL5.

Running dpt and barrel cut to 20.5 getting 3000fps average, using HDY 87g softpoint, 43.5g of 2209, guessing the 90g Speer and 44g of 2209 would be similar speed just haven't chronographed yet.

rifle has been sent away for the chop hoping to get a m14 thread on it
