Suppressors 45 can supress 308 ?

Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

A 45acp can is not rated for the pressure generated with a .308. If it worked, it wouldn't work for long.
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

I wish someone would test this on a video behind a wall or something. I'd love to see the result.
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

Pistol suppressors should not be used on rifles.
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

depends on the amount of pressure a SUBSONIC 308 rd generates compared to your pistol calibers.
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

lots of people use 9mm cans for .300blackout subsonic, but not what you are asking. that's going to be WAAAAAAAY too much pressure.
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

Yeah 300blk subsonic is fine through an osprey. I'd just like to know what happens when you shoot a supersonic .308 load through it.

Buy and can and let us know how it works.

Full tilt 300 blk, 762x39 and 6.8 aren't rifle calibers? Could have fooled me
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

If you check out the tests that Silencer Co had done, the 300 BLK was in subsonic 220 SMK only. Quickload shows my case pressures on my 1000fps .308 loads to be about the same as my 220 SMK 300 BLK loads using the factory suggested 11.2 grs of AA1680. I cant see it being a problem. I would happily test it but I do not have a 5/8-24 piston for my Osprey .45 right now. Maybe in a month or two I can try it out. I would not think there to be issue if using subsonic .308 ammo.
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

Figured by now somebody would answer.

NO...it will NOT work.

Overbore to that degree produces poor suppression. How poor? Piss Poor. Not enough volume, too much overbore.

Using an aluminum can would be a big mistake.

There is no mystery about getting a .30 bullet through a .45 hole, none. brain dead. The question is suppression. And it is awful. This is where the first person says "hey! not for some subsonics!" My response? Nonsense, crap suppression as well for a pistol volume can with .45 overbore on a subsonic .30. Is it somewhat quieter? Sure, but that is about as effective as dropping a Techumseh block into a Formula Racer and asking "will it "go"?" Yes it will...it will "go."
 
Re: 45 can supress 308 ?

To much pressure and .30 bullet through a .45 hole may not be as quiet as you think.
