    So I just received my first can, a SiCo Hybrid 46, and I am very pleased with it! I am running it on a .338LM so the current Bravo cap is the .46 cal that comes with the suppressor but I am wondering what a more caliber specific cap would offer. They offer 5.56 and a 7.62 caps which wouldn't work but they offer a 9mm cap that might. My question is... Is the performance increase going to be worthwhile? Are the pistol caps up to the task? And, is running a .338 dia bullet through a 9mm (.354" but I assume the hole in the cap is a tad bigger) hole dancing with the devil? I'm just kind of musing but as I am a complete nOOb in the suppressor arena I thought I would ask the veterans and experts. Thank you for the info and help!

    Hello Christopher,
    I do not think there was enough gain to go from 9mm to .338 on the front caps. The 9mm will get you the best performance we offer at the moment.
    Let me know if you have any questions." Cap ordered and we will see if it was a worthwhile investment! Thanks to everyone that looked!
