Went to the range today with new MagnetoSpeed V3 to check various muzzle velocities. One of the Grendel guns I checked included using my 308 suppressor. I noticed that the first shot of my string of 5 Hornady 123 SST factory ammo was noticeably lower velocity than the remainder of the string.
I know that the sound suppression of a suppressor increases after the first shot.
Will the first shot of a suppressor typically be lower velocity than the following shots in a short period of time?
Shot 1 mv = 2516
Shot 2 mv = 2576
Shot 3 mv = 2579
Shot 4 mv = 2590
Shot 5 mv = 2582
