[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2649347, member: 36999"] Not a 28 Nosler but I do have experience with an 18” and a 24” 6.5 PRC with both the Nomad Ti and Nomad L suppressors. The 18” with the Ti is definitely on the loud side as I can only shoot a couple rounds before my ears start to ache. Fine for hunting purposes but not ideal. The Nomad L on the other hand is substantially quieter and can easily be shot quite a bit on the 18” PRC without hearing issues. With the 24” the performance is improved, the Ti isn’t as harsh and the L you could probably shoot all day. I’m not any of those so I can’t say for certain but I do know that I have successfully converted a number of people simply by hunting with and letting them target shoot with my suppressors. Originally my Dad had zero interest in using a suppressor even after I had been hunting with it for several years until he shot his boar twice with an unsuppressed 26” 6.5 PRC and no hearing protection. Shortly after he wanted his own and now has an 18” PRC as his main hunting rifle that exclusively wears a suppressor. Same with my brother, he had no interest in hunting with one in the beginning but he tried it on his 26” .300 Win Mag and ended up building one with a 20” barrel specifically for hunting suppressed. As for the rest of our group, I bought the suppressors in 2017 to help save my hearing and started hunting with them in 2018 after I got a hunting rifle with a threaded barrel. This year half our group, predominantly all the younger guys, will be hunting with a suppressed rifle. Most of the older guys don’t want to be bothered with the extra paperwork or the effort of adding threaded barrels to their guns but the younger guys are all for it. [/QUOTE]
