After shooting a bull elk a few years ago with a large rock wall a few feet to my left side (Had to run up a ridge and was my only shooting lane) my left ear rang for almost 4 days. I have plenty of 5.56 suppressors and from many different companies so I'm not a specific fan boy of any per say. I also have no need for 300blk so that isn't anything I want to consider with this can. (shoot 300blk out subs out of my pistol cans) I can hunt in my state with a suppressor and would like to take advantage of that. Deer, Elk, Bear, etc, etc. I would like to have the QD feature and I am not interested in direct thread on suppressors. Right now I hand load 300 win 180gr accubonds with 75gr of RL22 and are right at 3100 FPS. I don't know if the added pressure would pass the limits of a 7.62 can that's rated up to 300 win. Having the option of using it on another platform or to be able to detach it quickly is a plus. Obvously have no need to put it on a 5.56 platform. I don't want to have it attached to my rifle while walking 10 plus miles a day in the mountains, so Ive been looking at a lot of different offerings with a QD mount such as Surefire's 7.62RC, AAC MK13 SD , Saker 7.62, etc. If I don't need a 338 can, I would rather not. But if these 7.62 cans wont hold up to the hand load 300 win, Ill have to. Right now I have been shooting Browning A and X bolts, and Rem 700's in 300 win, and 7mm mag mainly.
Thanks in advance for the input..
