[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 1989365, member: 115070"] Always leave it screwed on. Too risky to damage the threads or have it 80% tight which is an accuracy disaster. Besides, when an opportunity presents itself you have to be ready to go - not fiddling around with “one more thing”. I only remove mine to clean the bore, which I do every 40-50 rounds or so. Getting that thing on tight and consistent is important. That’s one of the reasons I fell out of love with the quick-connect systems. 22” of barrel + 5” of can is tolerable. 2” shorter would be a standard barrel length for many guys. Mine is long, but not ridiculous and those who haven’t tried it really, really should. I first used one on a .300WM in Africa and sent in the paperwork to get one the week I got back. BTW, the Thunderbeast cans are really well made and I don’t anticipate any issues with muzzle powder burn at typical hunting rates of fire. Their website says that it's rated for .300 WM with an 18" barrel. [/QUOTE]
