Another Suppressor question

[gcrookston]

I have noted no change in accuracy. POI does shift 0.25 MOA but this is the result of the extra weight expressed upon the barrel and not any influence from the suppressor to the bullet upon leaving the muzzle of the barrel. The groups remain dense, just down and to the right from zero (one click up, one click left and they're going where they are supposed to).

I'll shoot mine Monday and let u know.

typcially people see a .5" - 1" POI change depending on the range and of course the shooter. its easy enough to compensate for or just zero around.

So I'm guessing that accuracy of the firearm is not effected just the POI. So here's another question to add to that: The length of the suppressor.. I take it these cans are designed for specific rounds and pressures. Which would perform (accuracy, quieter, etc...) better, a shorter or longer can?

Thank you guys for all the cool info...

OOohhh Yeeaah

The length of the can should only affect the sound and internal pressures. Shouldn't affect the range you are able to shoot at.

I was thinking the same... adding that the longer can will also add more weight... hhhmmm... You think the longer can will also reduce the recoil?

[Irving]

Well it could. If longer means more weight and more gas diversion, I'd say that it would. Can't say how much though.

[gcrookston]

There is no noticeable reduction in recoil. My rifle can is a YHM Phantom that I use with QD's on 7.62 and 5.56. It's steel and it's heavy. I have another YHM (Cobra .45), which is aluminum, quite light.

With my TBAC 30P on both my 308 and 260 there is a large decrease in recoil . It also changes the recoil impulse by making it longer and softer . The other suppressed stuff that I have shot , 22lr to 338 Lapua mag has reduced recoil . In my experience a suppressor works almost as good as a good muzzle brake and the main difference being with a brake you still get the quick sharp recoil impulse .

It would depend on the can. As gcrookston said, the aluminum (and other lightweight materials) ones are surprisingly light.

Then there's always the A.R.I.E.S. Suppressor, if you want a massive lightweight suppressor (carbon fiber, your barrel length + a few inches).
