Guys Im planning on buying a can for my 6.5Creedmoor before too long. I've never so much as shot with a can but, I have heard good things about several brands. Surefire, Shark, Gemtech, SAS, etc. Looking for one that changes POI the least(if that can be acertained without shooting it) and one that suppreses very well, any guidance would be appreciated.

My Shark has been on 3 different rifles, Mine, CKA and ChadTRG42, there is no POI change, but I think think has some to do with the can, and a lot to do with who threaded the barrel.

Boltripper got a .30 cal hole in the end of one or two of his cans....and shoots everything sub-caliber through 'em....

You really cant go wrong with most of the major manufacturers.

thanks fellas. BOLT how's the sound suppression using the sub-caliber projos?

its kosher........

the larger internal volume of a .30 can when placed on a AR-15 will result in less blow-back in the chamber area and magazine column ....there is still port noise....but you still get that with a .223 can

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. What quantifiable specification should I look at to get an idea of suppression performance
