Recommend a suppressor for 6.5 CM and 338LM.

[Atanasius]

Looking for a suppressor for 6.5CM and 338LM. I shoot the 6.5CM most of the time and 338LM from time to time. But if you guys think that there is no one universal tool I would go with the 6.5CM suppressor only. This will be my first silencer.
My budget is $1200
Thank you very much!

Honestly I would get two separate cans. The best option for both would be a TB 338 Ultra. They are almost 2K.

I would focus on a good can for the 6.5 and then one for the 338 down the road. 338 cal suppressors tend to be big and long and expensive. You could use a multi cal style can rated for it, but performance will probably be terrible. Better off with a good brake if recoil reduction is goal.

I run a TBAC 338 SR on my AXMC with the 338lm and 6.5cm barrels.

Shooting the 338 can on 6.5 is hilariously fun.

Dead Air Nomax 33 would probably work well. The 3d printed XC models seem to have done well so far and this seems to be the 33 cal version of it. Looks like MSRP is a little above your stated limit but actual retail is often a little better and I bet you could sell the xemax brake/hub adapter and replace it with a DT hub adapter and save some $/weight/length.

Seconds on the Thunderbeast ultra338. It is the way.

Dead air nomax with a recoil x brake. Great supressor actually in price range

What exactly do you mean “Shooting the 338 can on 6.5 is hilariously fun.”?

Small pill through a really large volume can. Recoil impulse is really fun.

Is accuracy compromised?

I second this

Can I expect the same accuracy with the recommended suppressors ( Dead air nomax and TBAC 338 SR?
This 995m on 24”x24” target with 6.5CM.

Yes. Both are very accurate.

I run mainly TBAC cans on my precision rifles. I have yet to see where my TBAC degrades my accuracy in any rifle they’ve been on from AR’s and bolts

If anything they’ve always improved

My cheap go to for anything can is my SilencerCo 36M. On the cheaper side and ASR brakes are plentiful

You just going to use it for range fun? You can get something like the HuxWrx Flow Range 36. It’s shorter and lighter and can use up to a 9mm or a .338. Will also be less than your price range with the tax stamp.

I have used it on .223 up to .30 on rifles and it works great. It’s a low back pressure can so you can toss it on an AR too. It’s a pretty versatile first can.

 

[Atanasius]

I’m going to use it only on my two Sakos TRG for range shooting. I don’t hunt anymore. So yes target fun only.

 

[hafejd30]

There’s a few that come available in the px from time to time.

As mentioned above,

A suppressor that does its job well on a 338 will be large in comparison to one that compromises size and effectiveness on a 6.5. I’d personally get two

I bought my one and only can many years ago. My 6th can was a 338 Ultra Gen 2 SR

My advice is buy 2. One smaller and 30 cal and one larger for the 338 size. In the long run I think you’ll be happier

I have the Nomax 33 and use it for both 338 Lapua and 6.5 CM. Works great on both. The can is big, but light. Don't expect good suppression with the smaller multi- purpose cans. Master of none.
