Suppressors Thunder Beast Ultra series on 6.5 CM 30 cal , 6.5mm and 338

[TBACRAY]

So I've been at the range a lot trying to get some other stuff done. We thought this would be interesting so here you go. A few shots each of 338 Ultra and 9, 7 and 5 Ultras in 30 and 6.5. Sorry I don't have the data file so I just have SE numbers listed for now. I'll post Mil numbers later. We all know we really care about the SE numbers anyway.

So here are the numbers

338 Ultra 123.1 119.7 122.3 Avg-121.7
U9-30 122.7 126.8 123.2 Avg-124.2
U9- 6.5 124.9 121.3 122.8 Avg-123
U7-30 130.3 128.4 131.4 Avg-130
U7-6.5 126.6 127.1 126. Avg-126.6
U5-30 134.7 132.1 134.8 Avg-133.9
U5-6.5 130.2 130.6 130.7 Avg-130.5

Here are the videos

Have yall metered the 30PSS vs the Ultra 5? I'm running the 30PSS on a 12.5" 6.8, enough to take the edge off while hunting w/o ear pro.

Awesome results, thanks for sharing! I'm impressed with the Ultra 5 results at ear.

So basically, having a tighter bore helps with suppression until you hit a certain volume at which point it doesn't matter if they are a bit overbore. Good info, thanks for sharing!

 

[Zak Smith]

Only "kind of" true.

 

[ddavis]

I wonder how quiet a 338 Ultra size can with a 6.5 bore would be? Probably hitting the limits of quiet for a muzzle thread can right?

 

[TBACRAY]

ddavis it's not that simple. That would be to easy

 

[Gunfighter716]

Yep...was between the 7 and 9 and made up mind on the Ultra 9 30 cal

Knowing how quiet my Ultra 7 .30 is on pretty much everything I've used it on to include 28 Nosler it's crazy to think some of these are that much quieter. Still wouldn't trade it for any of the 9" cans though. Perfect balance of size/weight/suppression.

Ultra 7 is a great can. I had the crew spin me up a 338/6.5( Love my job. I ask for it they make it) Like I said its not that easy. It metered louder with the 6.5 bore. I may have to revisit it at some point . The Ultimate 6.5 Magnum can. That probably wouldn't suck

Now that is interesting.

Wow that's an awesome data point. Who TF would have thought? I love this kinda stuff. It would be interesting to find out the processes that are going on inside.

That’s amazing the 338 ultra is only a little bit louder than a dry fire!

 

[BigTex]

Now I want a 5 pretty bad

So glad some super smart guy recommended an ultra 7 to me. i love it on all my guns

Everytime I have my 338 ultra out I'm amazed how quiet it is with anything from 6.5c to 338lm. It seems especially good with 300wm for whatever reason.
