Thread: 300 Blackout Howa 1500 Mini Action + Hushpower suppressor

is the second shot substantially quieter? first round pop is atmospthere in the suppressor flashing as the gas gets a boost of oxygen inside the suppressor

might be that the suppressor is designed for supersonic sound reduction or lacks sufficiant volume to contain the gasses till they slow down.

could just be that sub-X goes closer to the supersonic line and the closer you get the louder it gets too

I think I backed off my 308sub load to roughly around 900 or below, with a full 22 inch barrel and big suppressor. its very quiet

Blunt bullets also make more flight noise, I started with nosler ballistic tips before getting roberts 151gr cast hollow points. ballistic tips are definitely quieter, but expensive and no expansion so I have gone away from them

the sub-x is good easy stuff for non reloaders to get top knotch sub rounds, but at $2.5 each shot its not cheap. I have a lead cast load ill go to once the sub-x is all burnt up.

for the moment tho the sub-x is working really well
