Can you run a supressor safely with these big cannons?
    The Lapua/Norma Magnum size (.590) bolt face is way to big for the Tikka bolt & action.

    I have built several 338 Norma Magnums on Remington actions.

    The brass is east to get, the dies can easily be imported.

    Yes you can run suppressors on magnums but generally they are big, expensive, heavy & their opperational life is limited, much like the barrel.

    Recoil can also become problematic in lightweight builds as can mirage off the suppressor with mulitple shots on calmish days
