velocity change with suppressor ?

[ar10ar15man]

simple question: have you seen velocity changes when shooting with and without your suppressor ?
up down how much ??
thanks

I have not seen anything consistent, in an AR I have noticed increased back pressure, which you would expect, but not corresponding velocity increases.

It's going to be gun/cartridge specific but just for a rough average I typically see 15-25fps increase with my rifles.

300 win mag with a 230 at 2900
and
a 338 edge with a 275 at 2900
for reference

I typically see a small increase. 15-20fps or so.

My rifles hit higher with a can on so it does speed it up.

My rifles speed up. You always gain a bit of freebore boost with a can similar to that you get from running a brake.

Yes, and impact shift. I had my 6.5 sighted in and put suppresor on and it was 1 inch right and 2 inches low, but you get more distance when shooting. Love shooting with a suppresor.

More distance?

And just because your point of impact may go high more than likely has nothing to do with velocity more to do with barrel harmonics

I get a pretty consistent increase of 20-30fps

Around 15, but varies

Yeah, you might see 10yrds additional fully supersonic. The difference is in fact negligible.

Usually see 15-20fps increase.
