I saw one of these for sale and was wondering if anybody had one. I was told by gemtech that they were not for sale to cilivians right now. They said the military bought them all up. If anybody has any input I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help. I need a 338 can

Re: GemTech PSR 338
TBAC has cans in stock. At least they did last week. I just began my wait.

Re: GemTech PSR 338
I have this suppressor. I bought it about a year and a half ago, but used it for the first time a couple of days ago. It's the only .338 suppressor I've used, so I don't know how it compares to other .338 suppressors. I can say that it reduces the sound of the rifle to that of about a .22, but different. Maybe like an air gun that is as loud as a .22. It also reduces the recoil to a little less than .243, but more of a shove than a hit.
I can tell you also that I'm shooting 225 grain Barnes Tipped TSX bullets out of a 28-1/2" barrel with 98 grains of Hodgdon Retumbo powder. I'm getting approx 3,400 fps with the PSR and approx 3,800 fps without the PSR. I'm shooting 1.5" groups at 300 yards (1/2-M.O.A.) with the PSR and I haven't done accuracy testing without it. At 100 yards it's putting bullets through the exact same hole, many times without even cloverleafing.
It is safe to say that so far I am extremely happy with this suppressor. My next endeavor with it is to see what it can do when used with a sub-sonic load...

Re: GemTech PSR 338
Aprox. Fps..,... WTH? Get a crony. You should have a few more fps with your can on. Are you guessing on your groups also? LOL.

Im sorry but that sounds like complete bullshit.....
Sounds like your getting some serious deviation from 100 to 300. That's really bad. It doesnt sound like a 22 as I have shot one on a Barrett MRAD with 250gr Black HIlls Ammo.
The recoil is not reduced to that of a 243.
There is NO WAY you are getting those speeds.

I have the crony data in my shop. Didn't feel like driving to get it. The approximations are close.

The Barrett MRAD (according to this article http://www.tactical-life.com/online/exclusives/the-barrett-multi-role-adaptive-design-mrad-rifle/ ) has a 24" to 26" barrel. 2.5" to 4.5" shorter than mine. You were also running heavier bullets down your shorter barrel. I'm sure you were not getting the same muzzle velocities as me. This fact does not make me full of shit. It simply makes you incomplete in your assumptions.
Also according to that article the Barrett MRAD weighs 13.5 pounds while my rifle with 1.25" at chamber, tapering to 1" at muzzle barrel, Stiller TAC-338 action, McMillan tactical stock, Gemtech PSR, nightforce NSX 5.5-22 X 56, and versa-pod weighs 27 pounds. I can see how you would experience more recoil. Too bad for you. This fact doesn't make me full of shit. It simply makes you incomplete in your assumptions.
As for inconsistencies between my 100 and 300 yard targets, that could be accredited to many different factors, likely human error being at the top of that list as I'm clearly not the expert, know-it-all, world champion gun-guru that your highness apparently is.
I'll say again, I started using this suppressor a couple of days ago and so far I am thoroughly pleased with the results.

Re: GemTech PSR 338
I really curious how taking off the can adds another 400 fps.

Re: GemTech PSR 338
400fps variation means you are loading ammo drunk.
havent done it yet but i know buddies that have. hahaha.
just screwing with you but if you chrono it you should find it isn't that gross. If it is... I wanna see a video on youtube, that would blow my mind.

What drugs were you on when you recorded this data? No way you had a 400fps variant with the can off as a suppressor ADDS fps due to increased back pressure. You got the can a few days ago? I've been shooting suppressed rifles for 6 years. 2.5" of additional barrel will not yield you more then 900 fps.
You're results are flawed as well as your logic.
