I have a Rem 700 in 308, 5r barrel that shot fantastic without a brake. I installed a brake later and it still shot as well maybe better. When I now remove it and shoot it, it doesn't shoot nearly as well as it did before threading it for the brake. Odd but it is what it is. I just keep the brake on it.
Went right beyond my common sense. Wasn't thinking one cartridge as much as a possible choice you were making.
Oh, it's not going to get threaded for a brake... It's going to get threaded for when they pass the Hearing Protection Act, and I can go buy a suppressor over the counter and take it home that day without having to pay that $200 tax and wait a year to get approved for things I already know I'm approved for.
I agree. Been waiting on the same thing. It's not only a possiblity now, it's a reality. Building a 338 Lapua improved and it will wear one once complete.Oh, it's not going to get threaded for a brake...

You should check out the Thunderbeast .338 can. They've tested it on smaller cartridges all the way down to .300 Blackout, and it's SUPER quiet on the smaller cartridges. So you might could even get away with just buying that one big bore can for your bolt-actions.
Yep that's my plan. There's a couple I'm researching and the Beast is one. I have several 6.5, 7s, and 30 Cal's I would use it on as well. Even a couple 6s and 22s also. Think I'll buy 2 and use one for the 6.5s and up and the other for the 22 thru 243s. Really looking forward to that 200.00 being removed from the overall price. Obviously it's not so much the cost but the idea that there "F_ _ _ _ _ _ "us over on charging that fee.
I'd go for one 6.5 and down, and 7mm and up. Just personally. Especially since Thunderbeast makes 6.5mm sized Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 cans. You could use it on 6.5 and down. And use the .338 can on 7mm and up.
Been hunting with one for the last 4-5 years.
That is what I am talking about, I think that would be as far as I want to shoot game. Thanks for the input. I am going with a 26" also. My brother is way more into long range than I am, he is going to build one also. He has his heart set on using the 195gr bergers. So we will see how that goes.
