Suppressors Can I use a TBAC 30BA with a 300 norma mag

[crackerbacks]

I know the 30ba is only rated to 300 wm but I am looking to build a big 30cal but I hate not to be able to use my suppressor. I really don't want to go WM mainly due to the belt and better accuracy of the NM.

Should be fine, but I would check with Ray or Zak at TBAC to be sure.

Educate us all, Zak. I love my 30P-1.

If you are going to use a 30P-1 or 30BA on a .30 caliber cartridge with more than 80 grains of powder, please contact me first to make sure it will work in your situation. We rate these two cans to .300 Win Mag (max loads typically 75-80 grains) and recommend 22" or longer barrels when using magnum cartridges.

thanks

That much powder with a 28" barrel should be borderline OK? I would use a larger magnum can or step up and get the 338P or 338BA...

I would DEFINATELY suggest a 338. You may want to step up to 338 in the future. In the meantime it will absorb the volume and pressure of any lesser cartridges.
