[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1245306, member: 30902"] A good suppressor really tames even the big monsters. I could not believe how much difference it made on the 375Ruger even with the 300gr bullets. It turned a really sharp, heavy recoil into a big slow push straight back and eliminated muzzle flip almost entirely. At 300yds I was able to see my own impacts on Zebra and to follow the trace right to the triangle in the shoulder. Now some suppressors are more effective than others so before deciding I'd suggest talking to the manufacturer and make sure yours is rated for the 300wm pushing 190's and heavier. One thing to seriously consider is going with a 1:9 twist vs the traditional 1:10 because you may at some point decide to shoot 200gr or heavier mono's or 230gr and heavier led core bullets which will only be marginally stabilized in a 1:10 twist barrel. The more I think about it the more sense the solid copper allow bullets are making to me so any of them I rebarrel in the future I'm going to go with the tighter twists so as to not limit myself to lighter bullets.
