[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1217260, member: 12995"] JE is correct. The reason suppressors are rated for "cartridges up to .300 WinMag" is because they are built to functionally suppress cartridges no more than .30 caliber, and no more than maximum powder capacities and pressures that at .300WM can produce at the muzzle. This is why some .45 Auto pistol suppressors are rated up to subsonic .300 BLK. And why some rimfire cans can handle .17 HMR and 5.7x28. That's why I've been doing research about how conservative the cartridge ratings actually are (still haven't found an answer yet)... Because I don't have a 300RUM, but if a suppressor can handle no more than a .300WM, then I would have to buy a .300RUM rated suppressor for my .300 Ackley, since it holds more powder than a .300 Wby, but less than a .300RUM. Which is why I want a Thunderbeast Ultra 9 for my bolt-action hunting rifles, and an Ultra 7 for my .300 BLK, 6.5 Grendel, and 5.56 rifles. I wish I could sell one or 2 of my offroad trucks...I'd have a book of stamps on their way to the BATFE for approval tomorrow. Go ahead and just send them all out at once. :cool: [/QUOTE]
