    Do it. Mine is 16 I think. Does what it needs to. Definitely suppress it. If using a DPT or similar use a steel baffle.... being a fast overbore case it's pretty brutal in the short barrel.

    Twist rate is important though. Probably much more than 2" barrel difference.

    1-8 twist in mine puts 80gr and 100gr in pretty much the same poi.
