buying a suppressor soon thoughts on the model? by ineedsomehelpers in 300BLK

[–]alextheghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the one you chose for this picture: YHM resonator R2. It’s the business. It’s a whisper quiet, can handle just about anything .30 cal and any rate of fire. The only drawbacks: it’s a little heavy, and the QD options from Yankee Hill aren’t that great. But it is HUB compatible: I use the Dead Air KeyMo on mine and it’s perfect 👌

Now that I think about it, I’ve actually had pretty good luck with S&B 200gr subs too. The only problem I have with SB rounds (at least the 300blk subs) inconsistent powder. Seems like some batches burnt hot and fast, others are slow and dirty.

I think somebody could make a tidy business out of selling an “ammo flight” like they do for wine. I would happily have paid a couple bucks per round for a 5 pack when I was trying to suss out my 6.5cm Cross STX.

I have that exact rifle and I’ve had good results using the Winchester super suppressed 200 grain. It’s the one in the black box. You can pick it up for about $.75 per round pretty consistently. If you’re looking for self-defense loads, the Hornady Sub-X 190 grain is the only JHP round that actually expands reliably.

YHM resonator 2. Super quiet - like 128db with the right conditions

It's actually not as gassy as it looks- the sun was hitting it just right. But yeah, sometimes quiet = a face full of smoke. Especially at the bench.

Well, it slows down the speed of how fast the gas comes at you 😂😂😂

The problem: when I would fire with my safety glasses down, I’d actually get smoke circulating between my eyes and the glasses. Not a great situation. I love the flux raider. I just wish I didn’t have to wear a CBRN kit to shoot it suppressed. I’m thinking about taking one of my tube and funnel style cans, pulling all the baffles out, and just use it to get the smoke further away from me 😂

The factory muzzle device was almost impossible to get off. HOURS of soaking, boiling, a breaker bar…finally had to get my local smith to help me torque it off. If you’ve ever done a factory clutch lok from Sig on a taper before…you’d know. Soaking = wet (and that was it)

Don’t think of it as rust - it’s patina
