    Best All Around Supressor(titanium)

    Is different good in this context? My Nomad TI is my favorite all around bolt gun can. I've wondered about getting one of the new XC versions, curious how they compare and if the XC is lower back pressure on ARs?

    Suppressors B&T SRBS 7.62 Inconel

    Glad to see some input on these cans, I just ordered the B&T Print-X RBS 762 TI on a bit of a lark after waiting 3 months for an ordered Cat ODB. If the CAT ever comes in maybe I'll get to compare them head to head. As it is, I ordered this can from Capitol armory, and I'm hoping it's the same...

    What FPS are you getting out of your 16" barrel 6.5 creedmoor?

    I understand loading for accuracy, I do too, I've just never had to load cartridges down significantly to get good accuracy, so I usually don't. If there is a use case for loading down, intentionally I'll do that ( like lighter loads for my son's to hunt with). Here's the load I posted the...

    What FPS are you getting out of your 16" barrel 6.5 creedmoor?

    I'd honestly give Staball 6.5 a try, it's been a great shooter for me and has usually given at it near top velocities, even with lighter bullets. Here is one of my 130gr loads for my Sig Cross, admittedly an 18" barrel, but also a heavier bullet, I'd expect you could find a good load around...

    That's very low, what is your load?

    6mm ARC vs 6mm Max

    Possibly, but by all accounts the Geisseles are reliable now, available in multiple sizes now, and are no longer crazy priced, especially if you have a ton of regular lowers laying around like me the math of setting up new lowers and buying new mags for a little less than what the Geissele mags...

    6mm ARC vs 6mm Max

    I tend to question if that's going to turn out to be a good decision now that Geissele has halfed the price of their mags and apparently Duramag is working on kind of a knockoff. I think the upper could be interesting, but I don't see myself going with the oddball lower that only has one mag...

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    I'd second the 12"-12.5" recommendation, that's a nice spot for suppressed ARCs and Grendel's, and provides just enough difference from an 18" that most of us can, with minimal mental acrobatics, rationalize "needing" both.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    What's the new price? I keep getting errors trying to link to their site.

    Seeking Low Back Pressure .30cal Can (so many choices)

    Please update with how it sounds, I'm still waiting for an ODB and thinking about the Flow 36, but I haven't seen many user reports yet. CAT did say that they should have a batch of Ti hub ODBs coming out soon, but no idea what soon means.

    7PRC hunting load.

    I've had good luck with the new Ramshot Grand under 175gr ELDx, 180gr ELD and 175gr ABLR. So far the velocities have been some of the best out of the powders I've tried in my 7 PRC (Staball HD, H1000, H4831SC, RL-26, Retumbo). I haven't tried Viht powders in it yet, but N570 really seems to be...

    7mm PRC

    I've been having good luck with 69gr to 69.5gr Grand under 180gr ELDs, 175gr ELDx and most recently 175gr ABLRs (blems to boot). A little over 2,800 fps out of the 19" should do everything I need if I can draw a cow tag this year. Last thing I need to do is rig up a more permanent raised cheek...

    Seeking Low Back Pressure .30cal Can (so many choices)

    Those are the two I'm mainly considering for a dedicated AR can. I've had an ODB on order for a month and a half or so, and no sign of when the TI hub version might ship. I'd lean towards the 762 Hux, but I don't buy anything that isn't hub compatible anymore. If the 36 is somewhat decent and...

    Blast Overpressure .... a concern

    That's a big part of why I don't have much interest in shooting .50s anymore, and why I suppress everything I can, especially SBRs.

    7mm PRC

    I said a load that "gave you top velocity, good accuracy and SD" , not ignoring consistency. My point is you're going around your ass to get to your elbow focusing on a model's prediction of % powder burn to guess at consistency (questionable assumption at best) when you can actually shoot and...

    7mm PRC

    If a certain powder/load gave you top velocity, good accuracy and SD, I'm having a hard time fathoming why anyone would care what a computer model says the % powder burn is? Seems like a meaningless metric. I've done load development or velocity testing with Staball HD, H1000, H4841SC, RL-26...

    MRGG-A (6.5 CM) vs 6 ARC?

    You're still spreading your Hornady conspiracy nonsense, you've got commitment to your delusion, I'll give you that. It's rich that you try to draw a parallel between Hornady and your rough Quickload estimates as both... estimates, while holding Hodgdon as some other higher standard and...

    Looking for data 300grn 44 slow slow slow

    My goal is keeping the ~300gr bullets just comfortably under the transonic zone. Don't really see any benefit to going super slow, if you're trying to use HPs, they may not open very well, and if you're using jacketed you need to be careful about sticking one in a long barrel. The 305gr below...

    Surefire ICAR

    I don't see it on their site, but I hope Magpul is planning on producing 10 or 12 rd ICAR mags in addition to the 25rd version. My 6 ARCs aren't set up or used for berm hosing duties, when shooting from a bench or mat, or hunting I almost always use a shorter more compact mag (maybe why I've had...
