[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3082016, member: 15054"] friend of mine tried his suppressor off his 338 on his .308 and said it reduced noise much better than many 308 cans he had. So why not get one with an over sized hole. I think the holes are over bullet size by quite a bit anyway. If you weighed the lead bullets you would know if it had a cavity in it. I can shoot my 45acp fast enough to tumble right out of the barrel this would in fact destroy something. Work the proper load in lead and test for tumble and I think you would be safe. My bullets tumbled because pressures were too high along with velocity and the fact that lead is soft and it caused the bullet to push straight through the barrel instead of twist. This is why you can push a gas checked bullet faster without negative issues. The gas check is much harder than lead and bites into the grooves and keeps the soft lead spinning. Basically. Many say powder coating lead can be launched much faster than gas checked non coated. I have not tried it ....yet :) [/QUOTE]
