I'm running a Thunderbeast 30 p1, I know these are an older model , but been pleased with it . Been thinking of sending it back for the recore .

So you can tell a big difference
Just to elaborate on what led to the recore... Really don't know how many rounds I had down on my old 30p-1 shooting matches with it thru the years. I've been thru a few barrels with it so I can only guess 8k to 10k. Sent them an email asking cost on retreading it and they said to send it in so they could put thread gauges on it. I got a phone call from them and said they don't see it often but the threads were wore out due to use. They restacked it with the Ultra baffles and redid the threads $0 charge. Unbelieveable customer service. Within the past 2 months I bought 2 more thunderbeast cans. An Ultra 9 cb and their takedown .22 can. Can't go wrong with them and they stand behind their products.Absolutely. I wish I had a good Db meter to actually see how much it did quiet it down. Definitely noticeable though and lighter too.
I guess I'll be sending mine back, then
Thanks
I won a bet with my wife last month and now I get to get a new suppressor.
I would like it to be for both my 10.5" 300 BLK as well as my Remington 700 in .308.
I have looked at the new Mystic X but can't really find any information/videos of the new core being shot through a .308 so I'm not sure how it will do. I have also looked a the Griffin Aramament Optimus and like both of them for there multiple caliber ability. I already have an M4-2000 for my 5.56 AR so I don't need this one to for that but would be nice to use it on .22lr.
I'm not really sure which to go with, or if there is a better option out there so I figured I would ask.
So, if you were in my shoes, what 30 cal can would you get with main focus being for 10.5" 300 BLK and Remington 700 in .308?
Also, side question for dealers on here. Do suppressors fall under the sales tax holiday that is coming up in September?
not for nothin... for the price of an optimus, he could pick up a specwar 7.62 AND a .22lr specific can from Meplat.You've definitely got some solid advice to consider. I have the Omega 30 and it's a great can. You mentioned that it'd be nice to suppress .22LR and if that's still a consideration, I'd point you back to one of your original two suppressors. The Optimus is a great do-it-all can. It's rated for 300BLK and .308 and is user-serviceable, making it suitable on a .22LR pistol or rifle. It's a little large and heavy for .22LR but perfectly doable. You can also use it on 9mm up to .300 WM. I have this can as well so I don't have loyalties to any one brand. Half of my suppressors are SiCo but I also have many Griffin cans as well as cans from SIG, Ruger, Dead Air, and Rugged. I'm looking into Q cans.
The other cans mentioned here aren't user-serviceable so shooting .22LR isn't the best idea. But if .22LR isn't that important to you, any of the aforementioned cans will do you good.

If it were me, that's how i'd play it.

This is actually the plan that I have decided to go with. Talked to the wife and she agreed that for the price of a tax stamp it would be more beneficial to get two cans instead of just the one. Some time next year will be a good day.
Kenny,
I'll call you later to work out the details.
When you get your new centerfire can, weigh it.
I learned that centerfire can does need to be cleaned.
Thunderbeast recommends that you clean their 30 cal cans once you build up 2-3oz of carbon. I had one doing some wacky poi shifts. Cleaned it thoroughly and it started acting right again.
They recommend soaking it in clr for a few days. It won't jack up the finish.
A small fish tank pump flowing cleaner thru speeds it up. You can use an ultrasonic but they don't using clr in the ultrasonic.
Here is my before and after.
True. I generally refer to centerfire rifle cans as self cleaning and in practice most people will a) never shoot enough rounds to need cleaning or b) don't shoot accurately enough to notice a POI shift. Mickey you are obviously do both. LOL.
I will add that people who shoot unjacketed lead bullets through their centerfire rifle cans will need to soak them more often as well. Also most major can manufacturers will happily do this for you, often for no charge.
Mickey I give your email address out every so often to prospective FPR/F-Class/youth shooters as a resource to contact to get started. Hope that's OK. You are a great ambassador to long range shooting here in Louisiana.
