Ive decided to get serious about pulling the trigger on my first centerfire can. With an overwhelming (and sometimes outdated) amount of information online I decided it'd be best to get some current opinions.
I purchased a rimfire can about 5 years ago and that's the extent of my experience.
I know that there are compromises you have to make with anything. With that being said, the qualities Im most concerned with are (in order):
Accuracy
Noise reduction
Life span
I'm not too concerned with length and weight. Of course I want the best of both worlds though so I don't see a huge size increase for minimal noise reduction appealing.
My main application would mostly be practicing with 6.5 creedmoor. Main rig is a RPR. Accuracy is probably my first priority due to the never ending pursuit of different handloads.
I'm currently contemplating making a 16" barrel 6.5CM so I'll be sure to check with the suppressor manufacturer to insure that's acceptable.
Other hosts it may see plinking action on are the usual suspects of 223, 300BLK, etc.
I've read good things about the sandman here on ODT.
Any other options I should research for my intended purposes?
