Recently got informed that PR doesn’t recommend shooting suppressed on their light sendero contours. Any of you guys doing it? Just chambered up a light sendero in 300wsm and planned on using my TBAC 30P on it

they were very vague. mentioned something about the stiffness of the barrel. Im getting this info second hand from a friend who spoke to them over the phone.
I just chambered one as well, and have been running an ultra 5 on it. I think it’s just a recommendation. Gun shoots great, and I’m not concerned.
Have been running one on a .338 proof barrel. Haven't had any issues myself, either. I don't see why u couldn't.
I have .5 mil on my .338. That's with Titan QD. Don't honestly knw why proof says not to use their barrels, with a suppressor.
I have no affiliation with Proof, but I have heard of people damaging smaller carbon wrapped barrels with to much torque when attaching or removing suppressors.
O my bad didn't pay attention. But either way, I believe they don't recommend it on any of their barrels.
I called and asked them directly. The tech said no safety issues whatsoever. If you were running the barrel hard, you MAY see poi shift. No different than a light contour steel barrel. I went with a sendero lite because I was counting ounces. They’re so close on weight though, if a few ounces didn’t matter, go sendero. I think I saved about 3 oz over the sendero contour. In other words, they aren’t saying don’t do it, they just prefer heavier to lighter if you’re hanging a can off it.
Day before yesterday I shot a 12 round OCW followed by 9 rounds of a separate load with no cooling in between except to record velocities. No shift observed with an Ultra 5 on the end.

I've been running an omega on my 300wsm 24" Lite Sendero for the last year. It's been fine so far.
It's just a recommendation, but the lighter TBAC's especially should be a non-issue. I have a Sendero contour PROOF and a medium Palma that both regularly get my 9" TBAC 30BA can on them, POI is about the same for both between suppressed and unsuppressed.
Here is the email they sent me. But from what you guys are saying I should have no problem running a TBAC 30P titanium suppressor on my 300wsm with a lite sendero ?
Yes, that is the recommendation they gave me as well quite some time ago. The fact is you can put a suppressor on most any barrel, just realize you're going to have a POI shift whenever you put a suppressor on any barrel, the stiffer the barrel the less the shift (usually). I have a TBAC Ultra 5 (resubmitted for a second time!!!!) in jail but once I get it I will be doing tests to see how the POI changes between that and the 30BA (9" version) I currently own.
