Judging by the NFA tracker, it looks like I stand a reasonable chance of having my suppressor in the next month or two... Anyone have to rework a tried and true load after you attach your suppressor? Or is it simply a POI change for the most part? Suppressor is a TBAC ultra 7 .30 cal. I plan on using it on both my .300 win mag and 6.5 Creedmoor.
Suppressors Load development after suppressor is attached

On my 6.5 x47, my TBAC Ultra 9 .30 cal POI shift is consistent. I’m not sure if it is luck, but I did not need to adjust my load. I still get same small groups with the suppressor on or off.
On my cheap Rem 700 in .308, my group tightened after putting on the Ultra 9.

I will say that when working up a load, prior to shooting for accuracy, I'll shoot one round at each of my charge levels first without the can attached, then with it attached to check for pressure signs. I don't want to go through the process of working up an accurate load just to find that installing the suppressor puts me over the line as far as pressure goes.
I ran the exact same load with and without my suppressor.
I actually get better groups with the suppressor in and all I had to do was zero my rifle with the suppressor on.
It was about 1/2 a MIL low at 100 wit it attached.

I have two 6.5 Creeds which shoot 1/2 -3/4" groups at 200yds with my handloads without my suppressor which I use for hunting. One is a custom build and the other is a Ruger American Predator that can shoot almost as good as my custom.
Once I screw my SAS Reaper MX on the groups are inconsistent and more like a pattern, I'm using the Tomb system anyone have any suggestions?
I have not worked up specific loads with the suppressor on yet but from most of what I have read this seems to be an exception rather than a rule.

Love my TBAC Ultra 7. I use it on my 308 and 6.5 CM.
They both have slight shifts up but both that are repeatable.
You’ll love it, It’s so light.

Little Update: Got my ultra 7 30 cal tomb mount and mounted it on my 6.5 creedmoor with a proof research barrel. I shot 3 shots in the same hole at 100, then shot some steel at 578 and 971. I was amazed. My POI change by about 1/4 MOA, but was easily still accurate enough to obtain hits on some pretty small targets at those ranges. Adjusted my scope accordingly and actually used it to shoot a cow elk at 583, I watched my crosshairs cover up my impact exactly where I was aimed. I wish I would have bought two more. I don't think I have the mental toughness to go through another year long wait though! I am excited to see what it does on my .300 win mag now.
