New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

Which would be preferred for truing the solution?
Adjust the MV to 20-30fps faster the measured MV?
Or adjust the CDF to match with the measured MV?
Is one way better than the other?
BTW the new update seems to have corrected my problem with the CDF & no service.
Thanks.

Suppressors SOLVED - New to cans - by far my biggest surprise has been...

Were you shooting Tulammo?

Or some other lower - budget ammunition?
No. Vast majority of shooting so far has been .223/5.56x45 - reloads with H335 but also some Defender Ammunition 77 SMK, 75 Hornady BTHP. Also quite a bit of Federal and American Eagle factory XM193.

I want to say that Defender uses TAC or other Hodgdon powders but I'm not certain and at present I'm too lazy to call and find out.

1st Suppressor / 1st Day Out (HUXWRX FLOW Range 36 Ti)

I personally don’t find shooting 300 blk subs out of a semiautomatic to be comfortable to my right ear. Tried it with both 30 Nomad and Sandman X. After 5 shots my ear noticeably hurt. Isn’t just the action cycling on an AR around 125 or 130 db?

Getting back to supersonic rounds, does the supersonic “crack” happen as soon as the bullet exits the suppressor or is it further down range?

Interesting. Note that the smell is only apparent if I put the just-fired suppressor near my nose, or, in son's case, if he has his face down near the action of his Tavor and he's shooting.

Both cans are Rugged Alaskan 360s, primarily used on two different ARs but also on a Tavor, AK47, PCC, and a .223 bolt gun. The sharp amonia smell dissipates after a couple of hours, but lingers if the can is left sealed in its plastic box.

@Rob01 , when you bring your latest acquisition to Woody's, let me know.... now the door is open to comments about sniffing cans.

Thanks (??) to @Rob01 and my adult son, I've been led into the world of suppressors. Nothing unexpected until...

... I discovered the SMELL.

After the first outing with son's new suppressor and it cooled off, we unscrewed it and put it back in its plastic box. Later, at my house, I took it out of the box and immediately noticed a sharp odor... what is that?.... sniffed the hub end of the can... yowza, the ammonia smell was VERY potent and burned my nose.

I got my own can (Rugged Alaskan 360) a couple weeks later, I found the same thing: Massive ammonia smell, after shooting ammo with a variety of single-base and double-base powders. I never smelled ammonia before in 60+ years of shooting shotgun, pistol, and rifle.

With his suppressor on a Tavor bullpup, he said the ammonia-laden gas wafting out of the action under his chin made him wheeze a bit.

This isn't a gripe. Just an observation. Surprised me quite a bit; I'd never heard of this before. And I'm aware that breathing this stuff as was happening with the Tavor is not a good thing.
