Suppressors Suppressed .300WinMag

[Black-X]

Tossed my Gemtech Sandstorm on the .300WinMag and put a few rounds through it just a few minutes ago. WOW, what a pleasant experience!!! Even over the Badger FTE brake that is usually on there! Recoil is very, very mild and more of push with the can on it. Also the sound was low enough to shoot without hearing protection.

I don't see too many suppressed .300's. Anyone else shoot one?

Shoot a suppressed 300 WSM and agree with you on the recoil reducing effect and noise reduction. Don't have to wear hearing protection. How do you like the Sandstorm?

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

I have a brand new, never fired, Savage 300 which will be shot when my SAS supressor gets approved. That is the main reason I got is so I can enjoy shooting it, and put it on the 308 when needed.
Glad to hear it works well for you!

I believe I was one of the first to receive one and I love it. Here's a review I did on mine earlier this year. Sandstorm Review

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

I have my SAS that I use on my 300WM Encore as well as 308, 7wsm, 243, 308 SASS and it is great on all weapons! I really like the recoil reduction and lack of lous sound.

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

Tackleberry,
Would you say you need ear pro with it? How much of the recoil does it absorb?
Thanks!

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

+1 on a SRT Shadow XL Ti. No ears and mild recoil.

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

I use a YHM phantom on my wsm, it works great! recoil never was much of an issue (18 lbs) but the noise reduction is pleasant.no pro.

You should look into the new Thunder Beast 30 cal can. I have been very impressed with it.

superior by design.....my young kiddos love going without when hung on my .300wm

 

[Tackleberry]

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

Shibumi..I need NO hearing protection. My friend has a Jet and he and I both agree that the SAS is quiter. Recoil is reduced more than with a Badger thurster on all calibers. I have been extremely pleased with the purchase, very light, very quite!

I don't think you're supposed to shoot them in the ass.

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

You take the shot you've got. No Monday morning quarterbacking, thanks.

Plus, the head is still good for the mount. Wouldn't want to ruin that part.

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

So was there any improvement with accuracy? I know the Sandstorm does wonders on your .308!!!

 

[zenghost]

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

Gemtech seems to have really good thing going with this Sandstorm. If I decide to get a thread-on can for my .308, I will look very closely at it.

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

I run a Thundertrap with my 300 WM AICS. Very happy with it and want to keep it dedicated to this gun.
All that I hear is a peaceful wuuuuussssssshhhhhhhhh.

If I ever want to suppress my other 30 cals then I would go with another suppressor like the ones mentioned.

Didn't shoot for accuracy but hopefully we can run out to the range this weekend. LMK if you want to run out and I'll get some .300's loaded up this week. I wanna see the new stick anyways.

You ever find yourself in the eastern KY, southern OH, southwest West Virginia tri-state area, LMK and you're welcome to try it out.

Will do. It's supposed to be a secret though.

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

Tackleberry,
Is that shooting a factory round, or a round built for shooting supressed?
Thanks,

Phil

i wish i can get suppressors in kalifornia.

 

[brazos609]

Re: Suppressed .300WinMag

Is that a 110FCP-K or one you had threaded? I have seen it written that the FCP-K models are supposed to be threaded 5/8"-24 from the factory.

Phil, there is too much case volume in a .300WM to safely shoot subsonic. My load is a 210 VLD @ 2850 fps. The tone is slightly different than a full powered .308, but it is still more pleasant to the naked ear than a suppressed 5.56 AR. The recoil impulse is also altered to more of a big push instead of a sharp jab. In my mind it is a win all the way around.


Good luck
