[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2648658, member: 31749"] You seem to be almost intentionally leaving off the Ultra 7 here, I would never run a 9" can on anything unless it was a stationary/prone rig, regardless of barrel length. In your specific hypothetical case I'd stick with a 20-22" barrel and run something short and fat like the TBAC Dominus CB. By the same token, short cans only really work on smaller cases (556, Grendel, Dasher, Creedmoors etc) or in situations where you really just want to take the edge off of the blast but still plan on running at least light hearing pro and form factor/size is paramount. For example I have a Dead Air Sandman K that I run on all of my AR's (and occasionally on my PRS rig so that I don't have to double up with plugs and earmuffs when its hot outside). A 5" can generally wont be hearing safe on anything bigger than a 308 class cartridge, and even then that's going to depend on barrel length. On my 16" 556 and 6.5 Grendel it's great (noticeably louder than my Sandman S on the same guns), my 26" 6.5 Creedmoor PRS rig is marginal (my ears will ring if I run a whole stage with no hearing pro), and my 16" 308 AR10 or my 12" 556 sound basically unsuppressed with that can on though.
