[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1942936, member: 113501"] I can't get a can around here but I have read that they can add some velocity because the gasses kind of have to stay behind the bullet instead of disperse almost as soon as the bullet leaves the muzzle. I don't think I would hesitate to use 147 grain bullets in a 22" barrel, adding a can might make the velocity comparable to a 24" with a plain muzzle. I have an Aero M5E1 with a 22" fluted barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor from Wilson Combat. I don't know if I would want to add a 7" suppressor on top of that due to length and balance because I want to be able to shoot it unsupported. If the balance was different or I knew I would always have something to shoot off of, it would probably be the length i would choose. [/QUOTE]
