Finally got a chance to get some testing done on my Recce 7 today after having to work through some issues with my load and rifle. I know theres not a lot of information out there about these as I pretty much bought one as soon as Silencer Shop got them in stock. Their taper mount system is almost exactly like the Brake Attach versions of TBAC cans except the Griffin taper is a lot steeper so the thread protector isn't so dang big. I was originally planning on going the TBAC 30BA route but when I saw that these were coming out for about 40% cheaper and only a couple ounces heavier I figured Id give them a shot.
I chose the Recce 7 for my 308 as I didn't want a giant can hanging off the end but still wanted a muzzle brake for when I wasn't shooting suppressed. Now that Ive been shooting with the can on I don't think Ill go back to shooting without especially since it seems like my groups shrink by about a tenth of an inch with it on. I also ordered a PHS338 that should be here within the next week or so that Ill try out on my 300WM although its not quite as accurate as my 308 but should still be able to test its accuracy potential fairly well.
After dealing with inconsistent POI shift with my yhm qd can I knew I wanted either direct thread or some sort of taper mount. I didn't really want a direct thread as I wouldn't be able to use the can on multiple thread pitches so that left the taper mount manufacturers. To my knowledge TBAC and Griffin are the only companies making a taper mount type of mount. Ive shot quite a few TBAC cans and was planning on buying their 30BA and 338BA but with Griffin bringing to market essentially the same thing only slightly heavier it made the decision easy. For what the 338BA was going to cost me I was able to get both of the cans I wanted with a little weight being the only penalty. Since most of the work my 5Rs do is from the bench and prone the weight doesn't concern me much.
