[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1950467, member: 101755"] To be honest I have never shot this SBR without the suppressor. So I have no clue if it had a POI shift. I don't have my notes in front of me this minute, but I had several different bullet/powder combos with me and shot them all. But I recall many that did hit 2200fps. The main reason I have gone suppressed is so the wife and I can hunt together without ear protection. I know you should always wear ear protection, but it's normally only single shot. She is fairly new and I normally talk to her leading up to the actual break of the trigger. This past weekend we were hunting hogs, I took a shot at a raccoon and the little beast rang our ears. So the SOS Hunter I have now doesn't adequately suppress a 10.5" barrel 6.5 Grendel. Hence my other thread about a Form 1 suppressor. I believe a combination between reworking my load and a high baffle count suppressor will yield the results I want. If that suppressor doesn't work I will move it to another rifle and do another form 1. When I say "reworking" I'm going to reduce one of the 2200fps loads until it drops under 2200fps. I believe 2200fps is all you can get out of that much barrel regardless how much powder you stuff in the case. So I basing my thoughts on the idea that there an excess of powder in those cases. So I feel I can lessen muzzle blast to help the suppressor do it's job. This is all based off my little brain working and not research based...so if I'm way off base, feel free to clue me in!
