Suppressors comparison of TBAC Ultra 7 .30 to .223

[jackinfl]

Has anyone shot a TBAC Ultra 7 .30 on a .223 bolt gun? How does it compare to a straight .223 Ultra 7?

What I am asking is this, I already have a .30 Ultra 7 on my 308. I am building a .223 bolt gun. I have a certificate for a suppressor. Should I get a dedicated 223 can that I can use on the bolt gun and on my SPRish AR or is the .30 good to go and I wont notice any difference?

Ray Sanchez on YouTube has a bunch of testing with loads of various combos, maybe what you're looking for

MSOWA, appreciate that. I have watched them all including the one under TBAC... However I do not see an answer to my question. So if anyone knows...

While I do not own a suppressor yet, I am in the research phase prior to purchase. I did talk to Ray from TBAC about a week ago with the same question. Incidentally he referred me to the Ray Sanchez youtube video of a 22-250 bolt running all of their suppressor lines with a decibel meter. Ray informed me that the smaller diameter of the 223 suppressor generally offers slightly better sound reduction than the 30 caliber can of the same length on a 223 rifle due to the smaller diameter exit of the can and I imagine slightly larger surface area for baffles. However, so I am new to the field of suppressors and on the learning curve.

Rate of twist thank you for your response. I just got off the phone with thunder Beast and the gentleman door explain pretty much the same thing. He said that if you were side-by-side with two two to three bolt guns one with an ultra 7 223 and the other with an ultra 7 30 you would be able to hear the difference. Again not much but you would notice the difference. So for me what I am going to do is just go ahead and order an Ultra Seven in two to three with a certificate that I have. By the way I am super happy with the Ultra Seven 30 caliber that we have.

I run a 30cal ultra 9 on my .223 and it works great! I was so impressed with how well it worked, that I scratched the idea of getting a dedicated .223 can. I would think that you would see the same results in the ultra 7. Hope this helps.

I run .30 cal cans on my stuff just because I come across a lot of factory muzzle threading jobs. The .30 cal bore (frequently .33cal or greater actually) gives me that much more room for slight misalignment to not result in a baffle strike.

This contains a lot of info on different suppressors with various calibers from tests done by places like silencershop among others.

Does TBAC offer a coupon code/promo?

Welcome. Thank you for the feedback about your Ultra Seven in 30 caliber.

As far as I know they only do the group buy once a year in October or something like that. But it adds up to be a very nice discount.

Just to add to the list of options, you can always get and Ultra 7 (or 9) in 6.5. Optimized for your 6.5 or .260, it'll work a tad better than a .30 cal can on your .223

223 Ultra should be 3-4 dB better than a 30 Cal Ultra 7 . The 22-250 video shows this well

Tree that list is pretty useless since a MilSpec meter wasn't used. There are posts explaining why the meter used has to meet the equipment specs for testing gunshots.

I was unaware of that. Good to know thank you.

I don't think you'd really notice much difference between the .30 and .223. If you want to buy another TB, the Ultra 7 in 6.5 would be a happy compromise if you run any 6.5s.. would be a bit quieter than the 30 cal
