    Hi JW,

    A little bit of a subjective comment from me...Safe loads..
    I am not an expert on reloading. But massive amounts heat and aluminum are not common friends.
    We have comfortably tested 300 Win Mag with speeds of 3250fps on 165gr. Approx 75 grains of powder.

    We quantity volume tested 223 and 308 factory loads to 1000 shot count, with no signs of damage to the tube, some minimal wear on the internals.
    But we shot them till the can radiated to 270 deg C. (not recommend) but was trying to make it fail, 120 shots inside of 40 minutes, not normal!

    But I also know guys that burn barrels well inside of 1000 rounds, on very hot reloads.

    Regards,
    Nick

    Have had some of these here from arvo industries to try against others and try in general,

    These suppressors come very nicely displayed in nice box, sticker, business card, and neoprene sleeve over the suppressor.

    When sleeve removed it reveals a very nice looking well finished suppressor, looks good with its detailed end cap, engraving on the can an general finish is very good.

    Been muzzle forward can with a little over barrel for the 2 point support its made to handle the knocks and stay in line. The rear bush is a flush finish witch looks smart also.

    Had a nice wee small can that was made for 223 tested against a Roedale delta

    Wight wise
    Roedale was 175
    Arvo 225

    Length
    Roedale 150mm
    Arvo 120mm (15mm of this is over barrel)



    This little unit was little ahead on the Roedale in suppression an overall finish is ahead as well.

    Nick is on to a good thing here and is good to deal with also friendly and approachable, it's a hard time for the suppressor makers here in NZ with so many of them doing it and all different options, here's another can that ticks all boxes well

    This is photos of different unit but finish is to same standard
