I was curious what suppressor you guys were using and how it affects your velocity.

I shoot a 260 Remington through a SilencerCo Harvester 300 and it increases my FPS by more than 60 for 140 gr bullets.(Which was surprisingly high)
 
I've got a couple thunderbeasts that I use on bolt guns. I see a small velocity bump, but we're talking single digits or low teens. 60 fps sounds like you might have a problem with your chrono 🤷‍♂️
It seemed like a really big jump. I actually switched chronographs. Had a Magnetospeed Sporter, which didn't fit over the suppressor, so I had upgraded to a Magnetospeed V3.
