Re: What caliber is your suppressed sniper rifle?

Just because you're getting less feedback from .300 WM people, doesn't mean you should be building a .30 caliber suppressor that can't accommodate it. (if suppressors is what you're building)
I know if I am in the market for a suppressor for a .30 cal, and DO NOT own a magnum, I would still chose a magnum rated suppressor simply because I MIGHT WANT ONE LATER.
I personally feel that any .30 cal can would benefit from being magnum rated, the same way that any 5.56 can would benefit from being full auto rated. As a developer, I'd hate to limit what my customer can do with my product.
VERY FEW .300 Win Mag owners will buy a suppressor that isn't magnum rated. Many more NON-win mag owners just might, for the piece of mind knowing that they have the option. </div></div>
Absolutely true! While I love my AWC Thundertrap, it would not have been in the running had it not been rated for my 300RUM (not to mention 300WM!), and it's a ".308 can". I called them (AWC) before buying it to verify it was rated for my RUM, even though at the time, it was slated for my .308. Would not have bought it had it not been. Now, years later, I don't own a .308 or RUM, but it does it's thing on my 7 mag. Don't limit your customer base by limiting what they can do with your product. That'd be just dumb.
