[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1724150, member: 37460"] I recently picked up my new Surefire SOCOM300 gen2 after a 9 month wait. Being a rookie to the suppressed rifle shooting I have some questions I was hoping I could get some help with here. My POI shift is about 2” low at 100 yards on the 2 different loads I shot out of 2 different rifles of 2 different calibers. I was curious if this is due to decreased MV or is it due to the added weight of the suppressor and the changing of barrel harmonics? I did not have my Magnettospeed with me to test MV but I will check MV this weekend. I’m hoping the shift is due to the increased weight and change to barrel harmonics. Secondly, does a load need to be developed to be shot suppressed? For instance if shooting a load towards the “max load” does one need to be concerned about increased pressures? Does a suppressed rifle increase pressure in a bolt action rifle? Any tips are appreciated and thanks in advance for the answers and help. JGS [/QUOTE]
