Yeah, we burned a lot of ammo! Bob built my Grendel and an AR-10 in 308 for a buddy of mine. The suppressors are really effective. Since people were shooting side by side with unsuppressed , you could really tell the difference. It was very tolerable without hearing protection. It was hard to tell but I think most of the sound was coming from the supersonic bullet.
I fired a buddy's Sure Fire suppressed M-4 and this was much quieter. The Sure Fire was much bigger too, so no way you are getting a rail off over it.
The only thing I noticed was that the ammo got a lot dirtier than usual, common with suppressors I guess. I was surprised they were using a standard gas block with it. I guess it would work even better with the gas dialed down some.
They grilled up burgers, chicken, and hot dogs too, so it was a good time. This range built a two level range building, so you could go upstairs and practice down angle shooting, like people do from tree stands around here. There was a concrete floor upstairs in case some knucklehead on either level had an AD. They had office type padded chairs with adjustable height, so it was a lot more comfortable than this old Infantryman was used too.
While we were shooting a couple of wild turkeys walked right through the soy bean field beside us, too bad they are out of season!
I shot some video too, I'll try to get it uploaded ASAP.
