Suppressors Ultra 7 10.5oz Heavy after 28k rounds of 6.5 CM

It could be recored but soaking will get it out. It just takes time.
I'm late to this thread. I always thought centerfire rifle cans did not need to be cleaned... I'm guessing I was wrong?
That’s a great idea to use the tumbler (rubber coated inside) without the pins! I had not thought of that. So simple it’s genius.
You will hear a lot of people say that, but those people don't shoot enough!
Soaked with CLR and CVS pill container
Soak until CLR in pill container gets a good amount of carbon, rinse with water, weigh and repeat process.
The lesson I learned from this is don’t shoot 5000 rounds of 308 before cleaning, weigh often to check if cleaning is needed, and when its time to clean just send it to TBAC.
It doesn’t hurt to have an extra Ultra in hand so that you don’t go unsuppressed while a suppressor is being cleaned at TBAC.
Thanks for reading.
What powder was that? In the past I've shot that many rounds with only a fraction of the deposits. There is a pretty wide variability between powders.
When mine went in for a replacement endcap, I think ~4 weeks of my wait on the repair was TBAC just getting the carbon from ~4k rounds of 223 out of the can. I'd love to know how much they actually had to clean out.
I think the device in question would be akin to a hydraulics "Kidney Pump". When a cylinder fails LOTS of metal gets in the system and places like Catterpillar hook up the reservoir outlet and inlet to the machine and it circulates the fluid through a bank of filters to remove the contaminants. Swap the hydraulic oil for CLR, spin up adapters for both ends of the can and hit go. I think it could be ideal for manufactures that clean but pricey for the end user...
Which powders have you found to be best/worst in terms of buildup?
I've heard murmurings that my go-to RL16 is not great in terms of buildup.

I realized my error - I weighed it with an Area419 adapter in the can (cause that's how I'll likely weigh it later)... 11oz makes more sense, now...
Ramshot LRT is pretty bad too. 22 rounds, .35oz heavier on my SiCo out of a .338LM.

I love my Old AAC Ti-Rant .45 because it can be pulled completely apart and cleaned individually.
My AAC Cyclone is heavy and a beast of a suppressor. But since it is not removable, i think I'll try the CLR soak.
