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....

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 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.
