[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 2439823, member: 33622"] I bought the bulk of my suppressors in 15-16, so my rifles were in service with brakes. I guess I did not document it, but I never saw more than a 10fps either way running one. Then again, I use a magnetospeed, did that change my distance from the muzzle for my bayonet? So were gains mitigated? I also recall a whole lot of claims of increased velocity and tighter groups, seemed like people really wanted to brag the usage of cans up. Needless to say, there was no buy in on my end, as once the rifles were zeroed with cans on, my dopes never changed in any rifle, at any distance. The owner of Area 419 had one of the more interesting vids on brake to can usage, as he had developed a quick change system for both. Distance if I recall was 540 yards, he shot a 3 shot group with a brake, then switched to a can and repeated it, impact position on the target was the same, so was the relative group size. No harmonic changes, and velocities had to be close. Now I can imagine a brand change of suppressor may have altered his test some. [/QUOTE]
