Owned a YHM Phantom QD 7.62 for years now and noticed my accuracy with the can has gone south. I have never had a suppressor make a load less accurate, only better or the same. I attempted to clean it as it is heavily carboned up but being a carbon steel can I can’t go too aggressive with it. No baffle strikes, everything is tight. Any ideas why this happened or any solutions? Anyone else experience this?
 
Find the exact new weight of your suppressor, then weigh yours to find the difference.

If it’s significantly heavier then it could be now changing the harmonics of the barrel. If not, then you might have to look elsewhere (powder lot, temperature, barrels, etc).
