Suppressor Issue

[Solo 43]

Here's the problem: custom built M700, with a 24" Shilen 1-10 , reamer a .308-M852. Rifle is a tack driver with all factory Match ammo/sub 1/2 MOA. When I put my Banish suppressor on, either a 7" or 9" .308, I can't get the bolt open with ANY factory Match ammo (the same factory ammo that shot fine W/OUT the suppressor), or my hand loads. Take the suppressor off, no problem....suppressor on...PROBLEM! Silencer Central and Banish had NO answer for the problem.

Comments/opinions?

Chrono numbers with and without suppressor? I see a 5-15 fps increase with several different supressors. Dilligent, TBAC, Deadair. None my rifles go from pressure safe, to wtf with can VS without.

Just to be clear what you're saying .... are you saying that without the suppressor and after a shot, the bolt opens and the case easily ejects ... but with the suppressor on and after a suppressed shot, the bolt won't open and the case will not eject correctly.

Is that what you're saying? Plus ... tell us what you have to do to get the bolt to open after a suppressed firing. Obviously you get it open, but how difficult is it, or what gyrations do you go through to open it?

Frankly, what you're describing makes no sense ... I get why everyone is so confused by this. I've never seen anything like this, and I have 8 cans that I use on a dozen different rifles.

I recently experienced heavy bolt lift when running my tbac ultra 7 on a 20” 6.5prc with 147 Hornady match. Every 4 or 5th shot seemed over pressure so I decided not to push it. I just figured Hornady was loading them a little hot.

When was the last time the suppressor was cleaned?
