    1 suppressor for different calibers

    Yes use the larger calibre suppressor on the smaller calibre rifle

    There is hardly any difference

    From memory the difference between .223 (5.5mm) and 6.5 is 1 mm or 40 thou

    half a mm (20 thou) clearance all around the 6.5 projectile as it exits the suppressor is normal, using a .223 in the 6.5 suppressor probably gives 1 mm clearance all around the exiting .223 projectile.

    The pressure wave from the lower powder charge in the .223 is easier to slow down and cool as well so the larger calibre suppressor is not having to "work" as hard

    Don't forget you can get two or more extra baffles just to make it epic quiet

    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
