Has been a long time since I posted on here. Looking for some help in narrowing down my can search. Already have a tirant 45 and razor 556. This can will be swapped between a ruger precision gen 1 and ruger american predator gen 2 both in 6.5 creedmoor. The RPR just bangs steel at long range. Ruger american will be used for deer and predator hunting. Things I value in this can: lightweight, good follow up shots, hearing safe. Willing to sacrifice some quietness for better follow up shots but still needs to be hearing safe. This can will only be used on the 6.5s. So fine with a 30 cal or .264 specific can. Initially was looking at the SilencerCo Scythe Ti but saw an abnormal amount of failures in can separation. Anyone else chime in on this? Also saw some stuff regarding brake end caps and I haven't done enough research on that yet. So more than happy to purchase an additional end cap or swayed to a can with that option. Something from thunderbeast? So what are your recommendations based off what I'm looking for? Greatly appreciated. |

What I've done so far is use .30cal cans on my 6.5creed and at this point I don't have any plans to change. The 6.5 cans are likely going to be more in the .30 cal size/weight class anyway, so for this exact scenario, personally I would stick with the flexibility of a .30, unless you know for certain you would never care about that and it will 100% only ever live on the 6.5s. Edit: I'm not sure what you mean by "good follow up shots" with a bolt gun... the time it takes you to cycle the bolt will be by far your long pole in the tent on that. Also being a bolt gun, it should be pretty quiet regardless (for a supersonic rifle round at least)... so weight might be best to promote to the top of your list. |
 Lightweight Silence: DDC Enticer S Ti Review Enticer S Ti works great on mine. It uses Dead Air end caps so you could get their specific 6.5 cap if you wanted to make it even quieter (haven’t tried). The Enticer L Ti is, obviously, even quieter. @AndrewKing makes his Hydrogen Series in 6.5 as well, hoping to get one out for review eventually but I’ve heard great things. |

A .30 cal suppressor will work fantastic and be more versatile. I decided I wanted a dedicated 6.5 can on my bolt gun, so I went with an OCL Hydrogen-L 6.5 and am using an Area 419 hellfire mount for ease of switching it around and putting on a brake for the weird time I don't use the suppressor. It is hearing safe and I have seen zero accuracy issues with it. Was ringing 1000 yard steel at a recent Snipers Hide class with this set up. |

Fair point to my ask on follow up shots. I don't think I stated that very well in my initial list of stuff i was looking for. Looking for reduction of scope movement after the shot breaks. Nice to be able to see immediate blood splatter in the thermal or where the bullet hit on steel or splash in dirt for a miss. Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Seen a couple repeat suggestions that wasn't on my radar and will take a look at the others too. |

They’ve been doing it right for a long time & doing it well. |

I think the Enticer Ti, Hydrogen or even Jolein cans would all be a good bet. Pick the size, price and features you want. That being said i use an older Nomad Ti on my 6.5 creed and it is everything you are asking for. I 100% love it on that gun. I was about to puck up a Scythe as a second Ti van but started seeing all of the threads anout the falures. The newer Nomade XC is so vlose in size and weight to the Scythe i would probably just go with the DA at this point. Or go "cheaper" with one of the ones lusted above. They probably perform about the same. Honestly, a bolt action 6.5 Creed is probably easy too supress well. If a can was a little better or a little worse than the Nomad it wouldnt matter one bit. It would still be a quiet soft shooting rifle. |

My Enticer S Ti is slightly quieter on my bolt gun than my Scythe. The Scythe does have a 'brake' endcap, not certain just how effective though. The Enticer L I have heard is awesome. I do believe the Hydrogen would be a STRONG contender. The TBeast products are pretty much made for this purpose (bolt guns, precision). There are brakes made for the end of your silencer that are quite effective. I did a lot of research to get into PRS and this is where it got me. You can go to PrecisionRifleBlog.Com and search for silencers, there you will find data on what the pros and joes use. I know you are using yours for a different purpose, but what works- still works. I don't know if they adopt the latest, greatest immediately, but once it's proven it'll start being adopted. |

I’d like to try out one of the Recoil X brakes sometime as I think that would be a great way to cut recoil on a number of different cans. |
This thread needs pictures  Aero Solus action and barrel, KRG bravo chassis with the the aluminum ARCA forend. OCL Hydrogen-L 6.5 suppressor. Area 419 one piece scope mount, diving board and hellfire suppressor mount. Nightforce NX8 4-32 F1 with Mil-XT reticle. Tango Fire 4000 WMLRF. This is accurate to the 1000 yards I've taken it out to so far and hearing safe.  |

Great can, but I think the additional length and slight increase in weight on the 9 is an easy and painless tradeoff for the extra sound reduction. |

I always have muffs on & my 7 & 9 sound the same as a shooter be it 5.56 or 6.5CM. Guys I shoot with have noted what you noted, but as I shooter, I can’t appreciate the difference with similar barrel length (my 6.5CMs are either 22” or 24”, I should know…but I don’t) Or, maybe I’m so old my ears are messing with me!
