My YHM 762 QD came in today. already went outback and shot some ammo through the remington 5r and the AR and already love it. Tried some sub-sonic ammo i made and the wife went "what happen".

Re: Hot damn got my can in

I tested the can today and compared the rifle with it on and off. Here are some of the results at 100 yards.

A control test of my reloads and just the rifle.
3/4" group

Video of the test

Same full power ammo but with the suppressor on.
1/2" group

The drop between the two seems about 1 3/4"

I switched to some sub-sonic handloads and the poi is 21" down and the 3rd shot of the first group moved alot on me. The wind was blowing hard from right to left but it's high as well.
6 1/4" group

I sent 3 more sub rounds down range and got 2 1/2" with the 5 shots all together.(red first group,black second)

video of the sub-sonic ammo

all in all I'm happy with the change in impact. It's not as bad as I thought it would be and seems to be repeatable.
