    2 baffles on DPT?

    Anyone tried running only 2 baffles on their DPT?not firing a lot of rounds,just bush hunting over a dog and looking to lighten things up as much as possible,really just looking to take the boom out of the shot,16in barrel .308.

    seventenths did it with "mighty mouse" 223 if my memory serves me rightly.
    IF you reduced your load a bit....it should work fine.

    I've been thinking of adding a couple of baffles to mine to make it quieter, but wonder about effect on the balance. 16.5in 308, DPT mini centrefire.

    When I got mine for the 223 i was surprised how loud it was , I ended putting 2 more baffles on , think there’s 5 on now , if you want lite weight just take the suppressor off .

    Only shooting 42.5G 2306h with 150g corlokt so definitely not a hot load.

    We got a 243 in 75 with new DPT magnum can. It is quieter than our MK1 223 with 7 baffles. Amazingly quiet.

    2 baffles work great on my 223. Way quieter than bare muzzle.

    I run just two "Modules" on my A-Tec on the 7mm08.
    Noticeably louder, specially when I remove all the removable baffles.
    Suits me well for a compromise between too long and quiet enough.
    I tested POI and it didn't change with baffle count.
