Check Snipers Hide, it's a favorite over there.

I have a buddy who says the following:
It's an awesome can for that platform.
I'll see if he'd like to expand on his statement

It's one of the top if not THE top accuracy cans for bolt guns. I have a FDE thunder beast in nfa jail now, hope to have it in hand by the end of the year.

I know about the "original" or "flagship" thunderbeast. buddy of mine has one and its a great can.
the shorter one is attractive to me for a specific application. think: dedicated can on a precision gas gun (JP LRP-07) when they say "only gives up 2-3db compared...." I'm thinking that if they're 1-2db quieter than a lot of competitors, then really you're only sacrificing 1-2db in total/average. if my math is right. really all I want it to be is a lot closer to hearing safe for hunting without ear pro. |

I've got the 30P-1 and shot it a few weeks ago without ear pro on just to see what it's like. Rifle was a Scar 17. Me shooting it it was still fairly loud, kinda like a 22 mag rifle. Standing off to the side, my buddy shooting it, it was very quiet. The gas blowback/bolt slamming was a lot of the noise when I'm behind the gun. It's a great suppressor and my main uses will be hunting on a 308 bolt rifle and on my 308 Encore with a little range time on my SCAR. No regrets on my choice.

I've got a 30PS that I use on a 20" 700 AAC-SD. It's my only 30 cal can, so I don't have a lot of other options for comparison. I'll just say I'm very happy with the 30PS.

good input thus far, thank yall.
what caliber? 308 a buddy of mine has a 30p1 on his 300wm and its a great can. I have a JP LRP-07 inbound and am wanting to put a dedicated can on it. I have a liberty can that is similar to a victory and a TI yhm 7.62 QD in the safe and a harvester in nfa jail right now. I'm just thinking that I'd like to put a thread on can on this new rifle and leave it there. I wont shoot it unsuppressed probably ever. I don't really shoot loud guns any more. fwiw, a "long day" of rifle shooting for me is 100 rounds or less. and that's (regretfully) pretty infrequent. |

If you are ok with being a little louder (~3db) for being a little shorter, the 30PS will work just fine for you. :)

I just got my 30PS and PSS cans about three weeks ago. Very happy with them.
I have used the 30PS on a 243, 260 and 308. I have used the PSS on 300 Whisper/Blackout and 22LR. Coming from a Shark 308 can and Thunderbeast 338BA I can actually notice the weight savings. |

what's your thoughts on the ps on the 308? Perfectly fine. I could not tell any difference noise and/or recoil wise between it and a 30P. The PSS is definitely louder than both of them, but very quiet with suns. |

I don't think there's anything in the industry that can match it for size, weight and DB redux right now, correct me if I'm wrong.

Shy of buying one of the 338 cans that are out there I think the closest you're going to get would be the Specwar as it's rated for 300 RUM. I'd contact SilencerCo before running 30/378 through it though. |

YHM once told me when I was asking if one of their .223 caliber suppressor would withstand 220 Swift, "if it'll fit down the hole, shoot it". maybe the same holds true for their .30 caliber cans as well? I had a 30/378 for a while. its a beast. |

Thanks for the responses, I'm liking the 30cb9, I'll give thunderbeast a call and see what they say.
Well I spoke with a guy at thunderbeast and he said no way to all of their cans and doesn't even think a 338 suppressor will hold the pressure. He suggested a 375 cheytac or bigger can. |

That really surprises me I didn't think it was that that much more powerful than the 300 Rum. I will have to look up some pressures when I get home.

Per wiki the rum generates more pressure than the Weatherby, but both of those generate way more than the lapua. Best of luck in your hunt, I'd call SWR about the Specwar 7.62 since it's built to take the Rum.
Actually did find a post by James from Silencerco stating the Specwar will be fine for your Weatherby 30-378. I'd love to try suppressing my 300 RUM but unfortunately the previous owner had it MagnaPorted, not replacing the barrel on it just for fun. |

You could just have it cut and threaded where the ports are. Might be worth the couple inches in length. |

If you get too far from common it gets too expensive to be fun. Lately I've been wanting to change to more off the shelf calibers. I shoot 257wby mag as well and it's a thumper but it's not cheap to shoot. |

I just got my 30PS and PSS cans about three weeks ago. Very happy with them.
I have used the 30PS on a 243, 260 and 308. I have used the PSS on 300 Whisper/Blackout and 22LR Thinking of getting the PSS for a .243win 20" barrel lr Did you shoot the PSS on the .243 and if so how did it go? I'm trying to keep the length/weight to a min as this is a hunting rifle. The pss is the shortest/lightest I can find. Every now and then we do multi shooters on hogs and I think the others in the group would appreciate at least some suppression, I know I do. |
