[QUOTE="Mach 1, post: 1588555, member: 104202"] I've hunted deer coyote elk and rabbits with a suppressor for years. I don't know how light of a can your going to get while being reliable with any magnum claibers. I have a yhm 30 cal can that I use on everything from a 300wm and 300wsm down to 300blkout 223 and even 22lr. Unless your running a piston driven upper, suppressors just dirty the crap out of the receiver bolt and bolt carrier awfully quick. I bought a sonic cleaner just to throw the upper parts in to clean them. Suppressors do act as a muzzle break but but are not quite as efficient at reducing recoil as a good break is. I also noticed that some of my group sizes reduce a tiny bit on average shooting suppressed. I contribute the additional accuracy to improved barrel harmonics and maybe reduced barrel whip. I've read some other people have noticed the same deal. At any range over 500 yards shooting suppressed with one of my 300wsm guns, alot of the time I can take two does out of the same group of deer just because they have no idea what's going on when fired on. Years ago I missed a coyote 2 times before hitting him at 585. I shot just over him twice and every time he ran closer to me. He had no idea where the shot was coming from and all he heard was the shot impacting the ground. Suppressors are awsome. [/QUOTE]
