[QUOTE="AaronSkipDavidson, post: 2384451, member: 6373"] When we started our project a few years ago, we selected a dozen of the leading products for testing vehicles. We found that using sound test equipment is really sketch on day-to-day variation, so any time we tested a configuration of our design, we would compare against several known standard products. As we optimized our designs, we noticed that we showed generally better noise reduction when testing with 28 Nosler or 300 RUM, but when we used 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, we would give up a couple of dB. We controlled for caliber sizing in our assessment of the results. The data showed me that a suppressor design can be optimized according to the cartridge case size (gases produced). Obviously, we went for the big stuff! I'm not a fan of chasing the sound number as a sole metric. We also looked really close at precision and accuracy effects, and usability (anyone had to send a can in for a stuck adapter?). I think cans are pretty cool! Its been a fundamental shift in product design and usage at our company, as we've jumped in with both feet. [/QUOTE]
