Surefire 762 SOCOM MINI Experiences on .308...weigh in

[domestique]

I have both cans, and the MINI has a different baffle design than the RC, that I can see literally just by looking at it. It is my OPINION that the RC was shooting for .300WM contract use, and that it was designed to deal with those pressures, so it may explain why it's not so hot on .308 (meters in the mid 140's on independent tests I've seen, although SF claims lower).

NOONE has metered a 762 MINI, so who knows?

Is the mini in ATF jail? You haven't shot your mini yet?

I'm pretty sure silencer review, NFA forum, or silencer tests reviewed the older style mini at least. You are right, the 762-RC sounds best with higher pressure rounds. It is laughably loud with 300blk subs.


ETA: I'm willing to speculate thar the 762-mini was designed for the SCAR Heavy SBR, and the 130gr. bullet used by SOCOM.

You could give Kudu22 a PM.

No, they are both sitting on my shelf, I just don't have a rifle for them yet. Yes, I did shoot the RC on a 10.3" 300BLK. Subs sounded like a .22. Supers also sounded like a .22, rofl!

TY! I know the new SOCOM 5.56 cans meter +-1db as the old one's, roughly, but I wonder if the 762 departed from that?

So you would rather shoot a 16" .308 with 762 SOCOM MINI than you would a 16" 5.56 with a 556 SOCOM MINI, without ears, if minimal hearing damage was your goal?

Neither, but if I had to pick, I would probably go .308 with 762 Mini, its a close call.

The 762 Mini sounds just like the 556RC on 5.56 in my opinion, but I am not very smart, and i'm deaf.

Thanks! You make person #2 who's opined that way.

Also to add, I kinda regret buying the 762 Mini. I want to try it on my 300 Blackout, but i'm pretty sure its gonna suck. It sits in the safe and is never used. I foresee the 762 Mini going on my SR-25 ACC when I get it, as a concussion relief device more than anything.

I do want a 300 SPS like a crackhead wants a hit.
