Question about .308 (7.62) and .223 (5.56) suppressors.

[actaeon277]

I already have a .22 suppressor, and centerfire pistol suppressor.
But, what am I looking at if I get a rifle suppressor?
Since the rounds are supersonic, am I really gaining much?
Is it 'worth it'? And yes, I know that's subjective.

I can tell you a little from my experience. On a .308 the suppressor makes it so my ears don’t bust when it goes off. Take it off and I worry about bleeding from my ears. Don’t even like thinking about comparison to a brake.

Yes, it's worth it. Best example I have is my 10.5 inch 223. Without a suppressor, there's no way I'd shoot without hearing protection. With a suppressor, it's manageable. I'm sure there's somebody around who would let you try one out.

I've got a Resonator R2 that I run on my 308 ruger precision and my home build 16" AR. I honestly hate shooting them unsuppressed now. It just makes the shooting experience that much more pleasant for me

Also I am on the west side of Valpo with a small private 100 yd range. I literally just bought a 22 suppressor but have never shot one before. If you'd wanna bring your 22 suppressor over sometime, I'd be happy to let you try out my 308 suppressor on both my 308 and 5.56!

I genuinely dislike shooting my .308 without a suppressor now that I have one. Totally worth it to me.

You could always come over and try my Omega 30 too. I have a mount on my AR for it.

Absolutely. Takes the muzzle blast away. Well worth it.

 

[actaeon277]

Thanks for the responses so far.
Been looking up the mentioned suppressors. And taking notes.

I forgot to say that I am using a Silencerco Omega 300.

Yes, totally worth it to me. My 5.56 sounds like a cap-gun.
No silencer: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aot1KbgqZ2qgkMNONk6iHXoonSRzbg?e=33gRBy

YMMV.
