[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2778475, member: 1132"] It should be good. The reason Ti cans aren't recommended for higher rates of fire is because when they get really hot, the blast tends to increase erosion exponentially and Ti has a tendency to spark. However, the baffles are what takes the brunt of it and Stellite is the most erosion resistant of all metals used in suppressor construction when hot. Look at it this way, you can get a .30 can down to 11oz, but it isn't going to take high heat applications without burning out. You can get a bombproof .30 can at 24oz, but it's going to seriously alter the rifle's balance, point of impact and just not be as fun to use. By using a Ti body and Stellite baffles at 16.8oz, they're bringing in a "sweet spot" can that can take some semi use on I'd say down to a 10.5" 5.56 AR, probably some light FA use on a 16"+ MG and as much as you'd want to throw at it on a 16" 6.8 AR. If you limited FA to something like .300BLK, you'd probably be fine to shoot as much as you want. The best bet would be to email your intended use list to Dead Air and see if they'll warrant the can for it. They do guarantee it for life up to .300 Win Mag, so it's a tough can that won't break your back carrying it in the field. [/QUOTE]
