Nah, just stuck at Tier 2 right now with only 4 DA cans…Until I get my 5th.For some reason I thought you already were habitual member
They are about to release another tier iirc. Need 10 cans from what I remember.
I don't think I'll be reaching that tier.
Nomad-LT is noticeably quieter than the Dominus, according to TBAC Ray's independent tests... Just saying...
I have a kymo brake on it now and thought about going that route but will probably just DT it.Nomad-LT is noticeably quieter than the Dominus, according to TBAC Ray's independent tests... Just saying...
You won't regret the Nomad-LT. Plus the HUB threads allowing you to run whatever mounting system you want is what sold me over the TBAC. Haven't regretted my choice not one time.
I run KeyMo and a Dead Air thermal wrap, and it's not much more weight than a standard Nomad-L with no wrap and a DT adapter. And that KeyMo setup is heavy...About 8 oz. by itself.
You could always go Xeno... I heard they're making a Xeno brake like the KeyMo, but the Xeno unit is REALLY light compared to the KeyMo.
Yeah, but the Magnus would be a more comparable can to the Nomad LT than the Dominus. Only .5" difference in length between Magnus and the Nomad LT but the Dominus is a 6.25" can.Nomad-LT is noticeably quieter than the Dominus, according to TBAC Ray's independent tests... Just saying...

Yeah, I agree, but I also wasn't the one who mentioned the Domninus being part of the comparison... @Mini 762 did...
I was quoted around April/May time-frame for my Magnus to be done and if e-form is working correctly I should have my Magnus before the end of the year. So maybe a 3 or 4 at the most month difference. Mehhh not a big deal deal for me. TBAC has much improved their wait times. My Dominus was ordered in November and was ready to ship in January.Yeah, I agree, but I also wasn't the one who mentioned the Domninus being part of the comparison... @Mini 762 did...
Also, by the time you get a S/N from TBAC while waiting on production, submit your paperwork, and the can actually ships to your dealer, the Magnus will be about 2 years before it hits your hands. You can buy a Nomad-LT today, eForm it, and hopefully have it in less than 4 months, since the ATF claims 90 days on eForm 4s.
That's good to know. They used to be like a year out. Especially during all the runs when everyone gets scared and starts buying up all the cans, as if the government is going to make a highly-regulated NFA item disappear. That's a damn cash-cow for them! They wouldn't do that, that's $200 a pop in free stolen money simply to sit on some paperwork for a while, and then run 1 background check, slap a stamp on it, and sign & date it. It's even LESS work now that eForms are up and running.
Not without the thermal wrap on the LT. I put it on when it was brand new, and it's a bitch to remove and get it tight again. So I keep it on there.
No, both are measured WITHOUT the mount. So the Hydrogen-L is a total of 0.60" longer than the Nomad-LT.
The Nomad-LT has slightly more volume internally, because it's 1.735" O.D., whereas the OCL Hydro cans are 1.625" O.D.
Due to the ATF screwing everyone with eForms right now, pushing them WAAAAY beyond the original 90 day [typical empty government] promise… My new Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen-L, which is going to be my dedicated hunting rifle can, looks like it will be quite a while before It gets approved. Probably after deer season, knowing my luck.
So… I decided to snatch the heavy KeyMo setup off my Nomad-LT, and put my spare ultralight Otter Creek ZR0-DTA titanium DT mount on it, and I’ll probably end up using it this season.
Looks pretty good on the new Ridgeline .280 Ackley… Pretty damn lightweight, too. Definitely packable. OAL with the 24” barrel is 52” from the floor to the end of the can, so it’s a longboi for sure…. But if you needed to, you could just wait to screw the can on once you’re in the stand. The OCL ZR0-DTA mount only adds 1/16” to the length of your suppressor, just enough to have a thick enough flange to mount securely and strongly to the back of the can, and recesses the barrel threads up inside the blast chamber for virtually zero extra length.
Thanks. It’s my ultralight deer rifle. Surprisingly accurate, too, at 1/4-1/3 MOA with handloads.
Honestly, my subjective opinion is the same as yours... I have 3 of the quietest 3 cal. cans on the market, and they all 3 sounds so close that I don't think the human ear could audibly determine a difference between them. Those 3 cans are the TBAC Magnus-HUB, Dead Air Nomad-LT, and the Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen-L 7.62. Any of those 3 should make the purchaser happy.
Hey, thanks for watching! Feel free to subscribe and share the videos if you like them. YouTube keeps raping me on views and visibility due to it being firearms related content, so every little bit helps.
They've even been deleting legit views from my videos to keep me pushed down in the algorithm, so my visibility is virtually non-existent.

If it does show more recoil, it's such a small amount behind the gun, that you don't notice. I also could have been holding the rifle not as tightly into my shoulder on the 2nd set of shots (5 per can) using poor form, as I am beyond comfortable (I.E. - bored) shooting at 200 yards, so it's like most folks shooting at 50...Even with the .22LR.
They both are amazing sounding cans. I really like my OCL cans...I'm currently up to 4 of them. Also, the Hydrogen-S 6.5mm is REALLY good sounding on a .260 Rem/6.5CM, and anything 6.5 or smaller. Sounds REALLY good on 6mm ARC, too. The smaller bore of the 6.5 can on a 6.5 rifle makes a noticeable difference over the standard 7.62 bore. For example, my Hydrogen-S 6.5mm is the same volume as my Hydrogen-L 7.62 on my .260 Rem. Just some info for you, incase you're looking at one for a 6.5mm bore (or smaller) rifle.
All 3 of my big .30 cans (Nomad-LT, Hydrogen-L, & Magnus-HUB) cut recoil SIGNIFICANTLY! And they start working even harder, the harder they are pushed. It's crazy how that works. The more blast and recoil the rifle has, the less it has once you put one of those cans on the end.

Out of the Hydro-L vs. Nomad-LT.... The Hydro-L is the winner of the POI shift test. Not by a lot, but it did have less POI shift on several different rifles. I haven't tested POI shift in the Magnus yet.
The whole POI shift thing is something I've never understood... If you own a can, why would you ever NOT shoot suppressed? I could understand POI shift between different suppressors on the SAME rifle, but not so much suppressed vs. unsuppressed. Maybe I'm just weird...But I'm also one of those "suppress everything" people, so if it has threads, or can be threaded, it's getting threaded and suppressed.
Well, without a doubt the Otter Creek Labs cans are built to tighter tolerances than the current production (KGM made) Dead Air cans. I own a bunch of KGM-built DA cans, and they're great, but the OCL cans are still "small batch" and hand-built. Each stack is hand assembled and then laser-welded, etc... There's no robotics or assembly lines. Looking down the insides of my OCL cans, the baffles are 100% concentric and straight. I guess that's what could contribute to the slightly less POI shift of the OCL cans.
Yes, it will be in upcoming videos. My latest video is post #86, and it shows the Magnus vs. The Nomad-LT.
Luckily I don’t have to choose… But I don’t think I could answer that one. They’re all 3 pretty damn close.
Whoops, yep, went back and counted them... 9 baffles on the Nomad-LT, 13 on the Hydrogen-L, and the Magnus-HUB is a mystery...
