[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2776193, member: 109862"] As in that’s the most gas volume/pressure they can take? Or a matter of bore diameter itself? If it’s the first option the .35 calibers, while they kinda suck at any great distance, are all kinds of efficient for getting lots of bang for your buck, energy at the muzzle per grain of powder burned. And still much better trajectory than the .40+ calibers of similar case size. I’m biased to what I already own…a 20 inch .358 Norma would kick all kinds of butt (I avoided the censor 😁😁😁😁) but might be pretty punishing. .35 whelen. Heck the .358 Winchester does things it simply shouldn’t with such a small powder charge. If a suppressor can withstand .300 win blast it’ll handle any of these options even better as the muzzle pressure will be lower on all of them. [/QUOTE]
