Anyone know anything about having to clock the YHM suppressor to get better repeatability? I notice the first baffle has holes only 3/4 of the way around. Seems it would need to be clocked and I have had hell getting a consistent cold bore shot.

Re: Clocking YHM
Mine is titanium QD and stops in the same notch on the ratchet every time. So it is always clocked to the same position. I don't know if turning it to a different spot would affect it or not, but mine doesn't seem to have much of an effect on POI anyway. Just a little over 1" @ 100 yds.
I'm using it on an AR 308 and all my AR15's. I have trouble with the cold bore shot with or without the suppressor. It's just unpredictable that way. So, since all my shooting is on a range for fun anyway, I just disregard the first half dozen rounds and go ahead and get it hot. It settles down and is consistent after that.
The blank portion of the blast baffle is at the point where the "slanted washers" are closest to the blast baffle. I think they did this to prevent a gas jet from ramping across the path of the bullet, even though the bullet may be long gone by the time that happened. This is just my theory, I'm sure there's a much more complicated explanation for the absence of holes at that spot. I'm just very impressed that such a simple baffle design can be so effective as well as simple.

Re: Clocking YHM
OK....looks like no one else has an answer? I'm just a rank amateur at this suppressor business, surely somebody here has a better reply than mine????? I'm interested in this as well, although I did ask YHM when I bought my suppressor if I needed to clock the QD adapter and they told me it wouldn't matter.

Re: Clocking YHM
My QD Phantom stops in the same notch so I'm not sure I try it any other way because it would be loose. My Mite is the same way. I'm sure a threaded version would stop in the same position as well as long as you applied consistant torque to secure it. It shouldn't matter as long as it's consistance you can predict the first round POI.

Re: Clocking YHM
If you are shooting cold clean bore, some rifles won't shoot well for 4-5 rounds after being cleaned. That can be minimized by cleaning the rifle the same way every time and using a de-greaser to remove any lubricant.
If you put the can on a fouled bore and have a first round flier, that may have something to do with oxygen in the suppressor and may not be anything you can compensate for.
The holes on one side of the bullet definitely don't sound like a feature that will lower the odds of a consistent first round.

Re: Clocking YHM
You wouldn't think that the holes being on one side would be good for accuracy but somehow they don't hurt. My rifles that are repeatable ccb shots to begin with are still repeatable with my QD Phantom on.
Side note... Griffin, you're not too far from me. I'd like to come take a look at your stuff sometime.
