Suppressors First Suppressor - PTR

I hate paying more than I have to but if something is quality and will last then I’m in the buy once cry once camp.

I’ve honestly held off for so long because I felt like the suppression level just isn’t worth it on cans I’ve been around but from what I saw, these seem to be outperforming other cans in that arena so it’s peaked my interest.

They are new and expensive so if you feel like jumping in then go for it. Then you can judge for yourself and it it’s not what you want then you can try another. You won’t be buying once after you jump in the can game though especially with 24 hour approvals. ;)

And no cans are super quiet because you get sonic crack. If just taking a shot or two hunting you should be fine with no ears but I always wear ears when shooting suppressed so a few decibels difference means nothing to me. I bought three cans this year. Two flow through and a regular and shooting them next to each other with ears you really can’t hear much difference. I got the flow through for dual use on ARs and bolt guns and the regular for bolt guns only. I’ll say whatever you get make sure it has a HUB set up so you have the versatility of attachments.

This is probably the wrong place to ask, but people mentioned serial numbers earlier... I've acquired 2 Vudoo 360s in the last 6 months, one from DI and one from Europtic. They are both serialized

Is there any significance to the T lettering?
T means 360.

PTR has a lot of appeal. Haven’t fired one yet. It’s not uncommon for us to go through several hundred rounds in a night making and I know I wouldn’t want to keep up with cleaning it.

The Huxwrx cans work great on gassers, but they can be flashy at night. Not a big deal for hunting, but worth considering. Full auto fire is no big deal. They hold up well to the abuses we dish out.

Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

Here's an illustration from thisd afternoon's range trip.
Point is, 69 SMK is far more accurate than 55 FMJBT. This carries across different powders/primers/brass.
  • Distance: 100 yards
  • Rifle: Barnes Precision, 18" 1:8 stainless barrel, Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18x44 @18x, suppressed
  • Brass: LC, trimmed to 1.750 +/- .002
  • Goal: Compare CCI 450, CCI 400 primers with otherwise same load. Result:
    • 69 SMK, 25.3 Varget showed no difference between CCI 400 and -450
    • 55 FMJBT, 25.3 H335 --> 450 was 30fps faster
Targets: Center red circle is 7/8" edge to edge, outer red circle is 3 1/8" edge to edge. Targets shot in following order:
  • Upper left: 69gr SMK, 25.3 Varget, CCI 450, 2705fps (5 shots)
  • Upper right: 69gr SMK, 25.3 Varget, CCI 400, 2705fps (4 shots)
  • Lower left: 55gr FMJBT, 25.3 H335, CCI 400, 2920fps (5 shots, one near edge of paper)
  • Lower right: 69gr SMK, 25.3 Varget, CCI400, 2700fps (7 shots in ~20 seconds, leftmost two shots are last two fired)
  • (NOT SHOWN: 55gr FMJBT, 25.3 H335, CCI 450, 2950fps - accuracy [or lack thereof] is the same)
