Did you guys play with vented vs non vented?

Didn’t get time at the class. All the video is standard 30 cal exit caps. I got hung up with meetings and didn’t get to the range until later in the afternoon

Serge ran a match with the Abel Suppressor, here you can hear it alongside some other rifles at a match

Seeing the title I thought you must really be on to something, alloying Th with Ti but no, just reading problems.

Heading back from Can Con in Phoenix. Great event and our booth was right next to @TBACRAY. Was great to finally meet the guys at Thunder Beast, a company that we’ve always looked up to.

Before the gates opened:

After opening, we had a constant onslaught. Between Abel and TBAC, we had the quietest booths at the event.

Interesting, never heard of the event Cancon, and I'm just down the road in Tucson.

May have to check it out next year.

Same..I wonder if it moves around or is it always in AZ

This was the second event they have hosted. The next one is in Georgia in the fall. They haven’t officially announced it but sounds like they will do it again next year at Ben Avery

Here’s a quick video showing total runout on the Theorem-L (9” can, 12 components)

Spindle is perfect and theorem is roughly .0018-002

Updated the original post with PewSciences review of the theorem-L.

Great shooter ear suppression rating with lower back pressure than other cans of its size.

I want to re-up this thread to talk about the vented end caps.

Do you see a marked reduction in recoil with the vented end caps for bolt action applications? Say if someone was to purchase a Theorem-L for use on a magnum, like a .300NM, would you recommend the regular or vented end cap?

Or are the vented end caps designed more for reducing back pressure in ar15 type platforms?

I will tell you that it’s light and it works incredibly well.

In the case of my LMT MWS vented end caps reduce the amount of pressure to the point where the gun does not get as filthy as it would otherwise.

It’s a significant difference.

I use a TBAC 338SR on my 300 win mag, because it’s so incredibly effective.

The thorium L is pretty darn close to that monster 338 can…

I think the Theorem-L is my next can. I need a large volume can for my .338NM, and I've been incredibly pleased with the quality of my Abel Biscuit and the CS from Abel.

The vented end cap piques my interest. What's the recoil impulse like on your .300WM with the Theorem-L and vented end cap?

 

[kthomas]

Everyone who has shot the vented vs closed has commented on the difference but I don’t have actually reduction numbers. It is significantly noticeable though.

Do you and Jorge use the vented end cap when shooting comps like the NF ELR match with your .300NM's?

As for reducing back pressure, that was the main reason for the design on large frame gas guns and its incredibly effective there.

Since the ELR is 100% prone with heavy guns I opted for closed exit cap for lower db even though the vented is only 2-3db louder.

Basically the same as the 338 SR…. It’s very nice and a much smaller can.
