Suppressors Loads for shooting suppressed

[coach4christ]

Do you guys back off of your loads a little when shooting suppressed, or do you run with what you've got. I got my stamp in for my first suppressor today. Gonna run it on my 6.5 creedmoor. Thanks in advance....

Load doesn't change. You won't see much of a difference aside from maybe slightly tighter groups when you ad the can.

I backed off and did another OCW process then seating depth to bring the groups in. It's your call.

I tested it and it worked just as well so I didn't bother. But just to ease your mind, once you shoot suppressed you'll never shoot unsupressed so don't fret over keeping two loads. Just worry about if you need a new one or not. My money is on it being just as good as before.

I made only slight adjustment to POI. Groups improved.

I had to completely rework my load for my 6.5 Creed. What was a pretty warm load to start with became too hot once I spun my new can on. Fat ejector marks right away and groups opened up .Extra back pressure was created by the can so, I started over and worked up an even more accurate load than I had before. Now I do all my load development with the can on.

I built one of my "long range" AR's in 2013, got my first suppressor for it in 2014, and have never really shot it without it.

I take it off to clean and use it on my other AR's.... I think I've shot it once to show someone how annoying the brake is lol.
