Suppressed sub-sonic - short video

[txgunner00]

I had an opportunity to borrow a buddy's YHM Titanium 7.62 can last weekend and get a short video.

Target was about 75 yards. 5 shot group under an inch.

Full function & lock back on the last round. The only trouble I had was caused by the magazine. These are non firefomed cases and I didn't have my 7.62x39 magazine. One shot didn't fully strip the round from the Grendel mag but a firm tap on the bottom of the mag sent the bolt home.

Nice,
I plan on running a Surefire SOCOM on mine,
Pretty spendy cans but I think it'll be worth it.

Do you have load data on the rounds you where using?

[Lead Chucker]

Thats great!! I use a Cyclone on my grendel all the time but I havent tried to load any subs for it... May have to give it a try now.

[txgunner00]

They are a lot of fun. I've put a few critters out of their misery with them. I like it when I pop one and the others with it don't even flinch. Almost seems unfair...

There were several threads going about the development of these loads a while back. It took some digging but here they are.

My load is 13.7 grains of 8208 from a sized but not fire-fomed 7.62x39 case. Rem 9 1/2 primer and full crimp with a Lee FCD.

Awesome!

txgunner, I credit you with planting the seed of desire for a suppressor when you brought yours to the BotW that June day nearly a year ago. My 7.62 Ti Phantom is still in BATF jail for several months, but I can't wait to get the email from the Silencer Shop that my stamp has arrived.

[txgunner00]

Glad I can help.

I still need to get a 7.62 can myself. The moons just haven't aligned yet.

[usmc1371]

can you use a 6.8 can instead of a 7.62 can?

Yes, you can use a 6.8 can for the Grendel…just make sure the threads match.

The reason why some use the 7.62 can is so they can use it on .308 as well. The 6.8 can might be slightly quieter...
