Thread: Testing the new DELTA suppressor at 534 yards

Ok thanks good info.is this the case for most/all supressors?.so by simple fitting a suppressor youll gain a small amount of velocity but will always drop lower? with out tunning rounds.

Almost have added barrel length with a supp sometimes leading to an increase in velocity. Not always the case for every rifle for both scenarios though.

so this is a diff reason for these increases and dropping?,than 7mmsaum's explanation

Its funny aye, you'd think the speed would either rise it or at least keep it level

In most cases its true but not an absolute rule, the sheer variation of rifles and their physical dimensions, particularly when barrels are concerned, means you can get a variation in results from fitting a suppressor.

Probably the only constant is it will be quieter.

Im curiouse as to how one would go on the AI.they seam to be getting popular with some really good shooters these days.

I have one here you can try neckshot.

Yeah I have. I only really use it for load testing and such. I carry it in my daybag if I need it for a particular shot. I am lucky with mine as I have no MPI shift with it on or off. No notable, velocity increase or decrease either.

particular shot?

One where I am worried about the recoil causing me to loose my sight picture. LR generally.
