Does anyone know of a suppressor that will work with a 22" .30-06 Springfield loaded pretty hot?

EDIT: I would really like for it to have a QD function, and the ability to work with several other smaller calibers such as 5.56, 6.8, .300blk, etc.

Most .30 cal cans will handle handle up to 300 WinMag so i would think that a hot 30-06 would be a walk in the park. I would look at the Yankee Hill QD one.

However it will NOT be quiet.

nothing will be quiet on a 30-06, especially one loaded "hot"

I don't think so. A unsuppressed 22lr is not hearing safe so I would not think that this would be either. I personally find 5.56 and 7.62 super sonic rounds still uncomfortably loud out of a suppressor but that is just me.

do you know of any hearing safe .30 cal suppressor that can handle .30-06? maybe a .300WM suppressor?

the problem is the supersonic crack. It will never be quieter than an unsuppressed 22lr. The only way to make it quieter would be to load the rounds slow enough to not break the sound barrier.

Surefire fa762k, thundrbeast 30p-1?  Sandstorm?  Shark?  Aac 762sd?

A 338LM suppressor on a 308win will get you to about 124db according to SilencerForum.

You'd probably not want to spend that kind of money on a can though since they're big and expensive.

Fixed that for ya.  On the TBAC, you would be looking for the 30BA.  When most people talk "hearing safe" they use a subjective measurement that is hearing safe to them.  The OSHA Occupational Noise Exposure states:  Exposure to impulsive or impact noise should not exceed 140 dB peak sound pressure level.  If the variations in noise level involve maxima at intervals of 1 second or less, it is to be considered continuous. So, gunfire is impulsive or impact noise.  Anything over 140dB is considered detrimental to your hearing and a hearing conservation program is required to be instituted (OSHA deals with the workplace).  A think that a bolt action .30-06 is going to be in this range and you would be surprised how "quiet" it actually is.  I don't have a problem running my .30cal bolt guns for a long period of time sans hearing protection, but that is on my subjective scale.

I use a sandstorm on my 270 with no issues. It is not "quiet," but it beats unsuppressed.

Aside from the bullet crack, they remind me of uncoupling a 120psi air hose.

Thanks Scott.

I have shot a  7mm mag with the thunderbeast and it was quiet comfortable to shoot.

There is no reason a 30-06 would not be a great suppressed round.
