[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3676495, member: 40561"] So to rehash a few things, first rounds I tried out of my Osprey were Winchester white box 147s and Speer Lawman 147s which are supposed to be subsonic. I was not impressed with the suppressor and frankly disappointed until I tried some PPU 158s. THOSE were the cats meow and very quiet. Next outing I shot both without the suppressor (through a 4.5" MPX) and you could tell a big difference between them, so I assumed the Winchesters and Speer were going supersonic and the PPU 158s were staying subsonic. Range day today, we chrono graphed 3 different loads. 3 shots each, and all were subsonic although the Winchesters just barely. I used up the Speer stuff so no chronographs, but they sounded just like the Winchesters. The 147 reloads and 158 subs weren't audibly different so I guess even when shooting subs there are differences in sound. That may be a no brainer to many, but I'm still learning this suppressor/subsonic thing and figured I'd put it out there. I think I'll pass on any Winchester and Speer 147s in the future for suppressor use. They sounded more like 115gr stuff than they did the 147 reloads and PPU 158s. Data through a P226 (4.4" barrel) 147gr reloads (quiet)- 834, 864, 873 147gr Winchester White Box (loud)- 1053, 1057, 1008 158 PPU Subsonic Line (quiet)- 922, 927, 917 [/QUOTE]
