You are a perfect candidate and I love how they will swap out parts if you change guns. Great product just a bit bulkier than this fat ass can use. ;)

And they aren't soft but I find them comfortable And I like their retention. I guess if I wasn't so cheap, I would get nice leather equivalents.:)
The new shape shift system looks really cool. It makes it too easy to switch between guns and carrying styles. I'll report back on how I like it once it show up in my mailbox.

Ordered a box of Black Hills, Hornady Black and Barnes VOR-TX 300 Blackout. Going to see which my barrel likes best. Had another primer failure with the Remington 300 BO which cost me a hog this past weekend. Primer is clearly punched in but failed to fire.

Don't use Rem 300 and can... REM crimps the bullet around the casing, death wobble to your can, matter of fact don't use any Rem 300 BO ammo.

Interesting - never heard the crimp having anything to do with bullet stabilization once it leaves the barrel. Must explain why machine guns are so damn inaccurate. Death by volume.

You will have to researched what is going on with Rem ammo, total crap. Jacket strikes, and break up.

The machine/chain guns I worked on were so accurate, they had to be modified so it would staggered holes for more collateral damage, those depleted uranium penetrators were nasty bullets.

I've come to that conclusion this weekend. Never again.

I am still not understanding the relation between a crimp depth causing bullet instability. I have a box of Rem 300 BO subsonic that I was going to use for testing. I will run it across the chrono to see if they are loaded equal. I am more willing to bet unequal powder loads not putting enough fps behind the bullet to get proper stability causing baffle strikes.

Could it be that 7.62 kinda wobbles as it comes out of the barrel and then stabilizes? I watched this last night and they talk about it.

Then wouldn't all 30 cal ammo be having baffle strikes?

The only time I had a baffle strike in my suppressors was when I failed to tighten it down properly and it loosened up when shooting. I had a light shaving that sent a bullet into the dirt right in front of the 100 yd mark. Other than that I have had no issues at all. Suppressors have clearance for the caliber + a little. The "little" is at the manufacturer's discretion. (I figure you know that but other's reading may not)

With Rem ammo, the bullet is not pressed into casing, the bullet is crimp/pressed around the neck to hold the bullet. Other manufacturers press the bullet into the neck with better specs.

If you have Rem ammo, do not shoot it through a can, period.

Damn, that is good to know.

Right, I was thinking the crimp on the bullet was creating unequal stress points around which causes the bullet to act erratically before stabilizing.

But once the bullet has jumped from the shell to the lands the barrel is responsible for stabilization. My experience has been a bullet that is stable out of a barrel without a suppressor is stable out of a barrel with a suppressor. The biggest issue with suppressors is mounting them aligned to the bore - not the barrel profile.

Not a can issue....
Some of the jacket of the bullets themselves gets damaged, soon as it leaves the barrel, pieces flake off.
