[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1929400, member: 101755"] I'm not sure if this is the "best" forum for this because it has to do with a AR platform rifle. I've only been reloading for gas guns for about 2 years....with a can...about 8 months. Just recently decided to put together a suppressed Night Vision rig for my wife. So i got the ATN 4k Day/Night Scope (which didn't end up being as light as I thought). I tried a 16" barrel with a M-4 contour in 6.5 Grendel which shot fine (no pressure signs) until I screwed the suppressor on it. POI moved over a foot, plus group size went from MOA to 3MOA and major pressure signs on the case head. So I scrapped the whole project because the weight was too much, plus the accuracy was not there. I decided to go with a heavy short barrel for weight reduction and stiffness. So far the accuracy has been fine but I'm again see pressure signs with the can in place. I had read that if a can was built right it wouldn't effect accuracy, but never seen anything about causing pressure signs on the case head. I normally run my AR loads over my Magnetospeed to get an idea where I might be with the pressure. But I don't have any barrel sticking out of the hand guard so I'm not sure where I'm at velocity wise. I forgot my Caldwell with the sky screens...would have been a great day because it was over cast. The suppressor is a Rebel SOS 30 Hunter (full length no sections removed) it's super big, 10" in total length. So my first thoughts is it should handle the gas fine. The same suppressor has worked without a hitch on a 26" barreled 6.5-06 (only shot at 100 yards) and another AR chambered in 7.62x39. My current load is below Barnes listed max for 120gr TAC-X bullets. I also had 5 left over loaded rounds (120gr GMX bullets) that I have shot in three other AR 6.5 Grendel rifles without issue, other than not being accurate. Well...I put two in the mag and accidentally had a "double tap" because the recoil (and pressure) was well above expected and a pistol brace! Cant wait for my SBR "stamp" to get here! SO Question; Is this normal for a rig when adding a suppressor? How does the suppressor effect the SD and ES???? Is it normal to have [/QUOTE]
