Suppressors Efficiency with smaller calibers

[jambau]

How efficient is a can when used on a smaller caliber rifle i.e. a .30 caliber can on a 6.5mm or even a .22 rim fire?

I think this video is pretty good for this

Big help. I'm waiting on a Megalith from Palmetto State Defense. Originally intended for a .308 but may also see action on my 260 rem or Grendel.

I have dedicated cans for almost every firearm, but I have used a Griffin Armament Recce 7 on a 20" Colt Sporter in 5.56, and it was incredibly quiet.
I would suggest not putting your 30 cal can on anything rimfire.

Thanks Scott,

I started the process for a separate can for the .22. I was really interested in the efficiency of a .30 can on the 6.5 mm's I have.

I ran my new ultra 9 on a 6.5 yesterday and was extremely happy. It seems as quiet or quieter than my sandman-S on a 223. The sandman-S 30 cal on my .223 is very similar to a friends Surefire 5.56 on his gun.

Sweet. Looks like you made a SOUND choice LOL

I've been satisfied with the performance of my Ultra 9 .30cal can on my 6.5cm. Not sure if it's optimal but it works for me.

Got another question for everyone: Will subsonic loads still be dead quiet through an oversized can?

Yes

Easy enough thanks
