Anyone have better suggestions?

hi jojo
Hey Joe!!
I’ve used the clear wire pulling jelly before. It’s quieter for maybe 10-20 rounds but you end up shooting most of it out pretty quick and it’s messy af. Totally not worth it.
Seems like it would be good with a wipe for like the first round or 3, if you’re trying to be as quiet as possible. Otherwise seems like a lot of work for not much return.
From what I read using water is mostly good at getting rid of first round pop. After that you are pretty much back to a dry can.
I've tried the wire pulling gel and that seems to last a little longer, but it is very messy. I wouldn't use it at an indoor range unless you want the staff to hate you.

I've only used water, a few drops in a .22 rimfire can.
Maybe a teaspoon full in a centerfire pistol suppressor.
It seemed to help with quieting-down the first round from a cold can,
but it was messy,
and I didn't want to continue using it for fear that I would force water vapor and water droplets into the internal workings of my gun which I would not normally fully clean after every range session.
So, I stopped using it. I might use it again if I had to take one really quiet shot and accuracy didn't matter much.
PS- I never tested whether shooting a can wet changes the bullet's point of impact ,
compared to shooting the first round from a cold can that is perfectly dry.

I've tried water and electrode gel, but couldn't see any POI shift in my pistol or AR out to 100 yds. At longer distances it might show a difference.
