[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1929825, member: 90397"] I run suppressed on all my gas guns (.224 Valkyrie, 6.8 SPC II, 300 BO and .308) and develop the loads for them with the suppressor in place. I use a TBAC Utlra 7 and so far everything has shot at least as well with the suppressor as without it and most shoot better. I use a Labradar and the few times I checked unsuppressed, my velocities were slightly lower which might suggest a little more pressure with the suppressor. I tend to agree that you are likely over gassed as a big part of the problem. I have adjustable gas blocks on everything but the 300 BO which is a PDW. The adjustable gas blocks are a nice feature in my opinion. When I got my GAP10 .308 the information that came with it recommended not pushing hot handloads through it if I didn't want excessive wear. I've tended to follow the same advice with my Craddock precision uppers as well, in part because they tended to shoot better at loads lower than max. I haven't checked how the suppressor effects ES/SD with and without it in place. I usually have no problems working up a supersonic load with good ES/SD with the suppressor in place. My biggest challenge in getting good ES/SD has been when I attempted to load subsonic. [/QUOTE]
