So this happened today.
I have shot my Gen 2 338 SR suppresor a lot, shot a few matches with it a few thousand round through it.
I’ve always mounted the Suppresor correctly, keeping the brake and Suppresor maintained. Read everything there is on people’s mistakes shooting their cans off, or even suppressor cover material causing it to mount off center (I don’t use a cover). It’s mounted on a .308 ATX and the mount is correctly installed. Half way through my training day I got a weird sound and checked the suppressor, sure enough, end cap strike. The gun was shooting .4 moa when I started today and the same size group after the strike. Was shooting out to 1000m no problem so that leads me to believe it was mounted correctly and did not continue rubbing. Not really sure how this could have happened using factory ammo (175gr smk). I’m religious in checking suppressor alignment and even checked after the shot, it just sucks this happened to such an expensive suppressor.
Could I have done something wrong, possibly but I’ve taken every precaution and am at a loss.
The last baffle has a nick in it and the end cap was struck.
By the photo does this need to be repaired or can it just keep trucking along?
