Suppressors 338 ultra worth the money over ultra 9 for 28 nosler?

[NorthWesterner]

What do y'all think for a 7mm can. Is the 338 ultra worth the d tea coin over he ultra 9?

If you want max suppression, yes. If you want light weight and compactness, e.g. for hunting, then no.

This can would be more for my elr rig. But still how much quieter would it really be is the thing.

The ultra 338 is a big can, much larger then my older TBAC 30P

It’s a great can and I doubt you’d be bummed you owned one. It’s also a great one size fits all can if you need that as well.

I have an Ultra 9 and 7 and dedicated the 7 to my 28 Nosler because it already has a 27" barrel. Plenty of suppression in my opinion. no ear protection needed but it is a hunting gun. Obviously the 338 will give more suppression as Zack said. I love my TBAC's.

I use a ultra 7 and 9s on my 300 Norma mags. Was in the same boat as you but decided it wasn't worth it to get a 338. Barrels are 26 and 27 inches long on them.

Had the same question for a 300 RUM in an ultra 9 vs 338 ultra. You'll need the extra volume to shut down all that extra powder in an over bore mag.

Forgot to mention, that recommendation came from TBAC after discussing my concerns and desires for a new can. You said it's for an elr rig, so probably not an issue, but some LR hunting rifles on the market these days come with 1/2" threads on magnums (fierce comes to mind). IF that applies to your situation, recommend rethreading to at least 5/8" threads if you have the barrel diameter to do it, 3/4" is preferred

Ultra 338 for sure if money, size and weight are of no concern.

don’t have a ultra 9 pic but here’s an ultra 338 next to an Ultra 7 so you can at least see the diameter difference

Here is a video Ray put together showing the suppression levels of their Ultra line (5, 7, 9, and 338):



Based on their test rifle there is only an approximate 2-3 dB difference between the Ultra 9 and the 338 with a "hot" 300WM.
