Thunderbeast Ultra 5 - Harpoon1 - 09-25-2022

Fess Wrote:I think you have it backwards. You would need less can with the longer barrel. That is why LRR stated that the 5" can is loud on the 12" barrel but quiet on the 20" barrel. The longer barrel has more volume for the gas to expand in before the bullet exits so the pressure entering the suppressor starts lower. The speed of the bullet is not the issue.

I think you’re right! That’s what happens when I’m working under the “4 hour” rule! Doesn’t matter what time it is, if you’ve been up for more than “4 hours”, you can start drinking! Rolleyes

Dang. Let's see. I've been up WAY more than 4 hours. Time for a mosey to the refrigerator! Gee look, I pass the liquor cabinet on the way! Decisions, decisions.

My house is my liquor cabinet! Cool

I looked for videos of Ray shooting 16” barrel .243 Winchester with TBAC suppressors (very odd barrel length for that), and couldn’t find anything.

Well, the shortest “can” I have in jail is 6”. I have zero interest in carrying around a 30” long Varmint rifle! None! Thinking Im probably going to end up in around the 18” length range, plus the can! Rolleyes 24” is tolerable!

Having said that, Ruger makes a 16.1” 243 with a threaded barrel.That may end up being the path of least resistance! Cool

That’s should give me at least 3200-3300 fps with 70 TNT’s! That would definitely let the air out of them! Wink

The Ultra series are rated down to 14.5” barrels for .308 Win, .260 REM, 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 WIN, and .22 Creedmoor.

They have Ultra 5, Ultra 7, and Ultra 9. Gen II has replaced the first Ultra series.
