Can Surefire RC2 suppress 6mm Max?

[AJBI]

Hey Hide.

I’m interested in putting together a 6mm Max build. My question is this, since the 6mm Max uses the same Outside/Rim Diameter, and Case Head Size as the 5.56/.223; and 6mm max also uses the 5.56/.223 BCG, can I use a Surefire RC2 or dedicated 5.56/.223 Suppressor with 6mm Max?
The only factor I see that would potentially say no is the Cartridge Overall Length.
The 5.56/.223 being 2.24 OAL and 6mm Max being 2.29 OAL.
I’m very uneducated in the suppressor scene, so hopefully my question isn’t too simple.
Thanks in advance for all insight.

Well, the fact that its a 223 caliber can and your bullet is 243 caliber presents an issue...

Understood. I don’t think it can get much more plain than that. I appreciate your patience and mercy.

Eh depends on the bore and how much wiggle room there is. The SOCOM556 SB2 for instance has a larger than normal aperture for frangible and less stable projectiles specifically.

Remind me and I’ll stick a 6mm rod through mine tomorrow.

6mm rod went though both the full size 556 RC2 and my first gen 556 SB. The SB has plenty enough room to spare on the blast baffle as well as muzzle aperture. Not sure what size aperture the SB2 has, though.

Awesome and thank you for checking.
