too small of a tube for 338 Lapua.....Just my opinion!!

I would find some 1.75 minimum

Why so heavy? You dont need that thick.

How did you pick those dimensions? Before you pick something I'd suggest you quantify the design a little bit to make sure it's going to do what you want.

Then, I'd point you in the direction of the high end race car community. Large diam SS or Ti thin walled DOM tubing.

I used .095" 4130 from online metals for my 338 rum can. It is 1.75" by 12" and covers the last 4 inches of the barrel. It weighs 3 pounds which is kind of heavy. I think yours would weigh about 5 pounds if using the 3/16" tubing.

You need to speak with these folks...

In addition, check the specs of known suppressor makers - AAC, Gemtech, Ops Inc, etc.
