OCW with vs without Suppressor?

[21Bravo]

Anyone ever done any testing to see what occurs to OCW with a suppressor attached vs unsuppressed?

Just curious,

I did and will continue to do load development unsurppressed, why because that is how I shoot most of the time.

Adding a suppressor changes the entire vibration characteristics of the barrel.

Also in my experience, I see pressure signs much sooner when shooting with the suppressor. Therefore if I plan to use the suppressor the majority of the time, I will work up a load with the suppressor.

I work up my loads unsurpressed, and once I get the load, I like to chrony it with the suppressor to see the difference, then rezero the scope. I use AAC and they actually have very little affect on FPS in my experiance, usually 50-100fps more.

Why, habit really.

I was curious about this too. Is the increase in pressure why some suppressors can add velocity to a given load?

I read somewhere else that yes the harmonics change, but it shouldn't decrease accuracy but it most likely will change poi?

Hmmm
Suppressed rifle should be loaded for with CAN in place if thats how it will be shot mostly

Very interested in freebore boost info
some say none, other say 50fps or so
