I have a customer interested in 6 .300 whisper cans for custom bolt guns, and I was wondering what suppressors are you guys using on your .300 whispers, how they sound, how you like them, and why.

I can source him a product, or make him a small production run(what he wanted), but I was trying to figure out which approach was best.

I had looked at SSK's cans, but then I read somewhere they are almost 3lbs, and saw pictures realizing they need the barrel turned to a goofy contour, and that sort of changed my mind.

My design would be a large aluminum reflex can with .075 wall construction T6 throughout, and hardcoat anodized.  

Do you think it should be thicker if I go that route? I'm sure .100 thick would work fine, but I'm not sure if it's neccessary.  

I'm pretty sure the guns will be blued or parkarized so I think something black would be ideal, as opposed to stainless or aluminum in the white.

What you guys are experiencing with your mainstream and custom products would be interesting to know.  

I just don't know how well .308 cans apply to subsonic .300 whispers- I know a .300 whisper has more blast below 1050FPS than most .308's due to the heavier projectiles and powder charges used.

thanks.  What little I was able to gather was suggesting possible velocities up to 1350FPS with 240grain bullets and I just guessed it had to be far more powerful, since 9mm 147 grain is a subsonic load at full power.

That must have been innaccurate velocity/weight information.


So are 9mm suppressors producing good results, or are longer suppressors more ideal to produce the sound signatures targeted with these weapons?

I'm amazed that ghetto can is doing that well.

It's just a piece of bar stock with a couple round pockets.  

GEEZ.  The .300 whisper must be easy to suppress.
