[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2521000, member: 116181"] Call the manufacturer is the correct, safe answer. Longer answer: They changed it for the newest model, but TBAC has this note on their 338 Ultra: The root of what they're getting to is that muzzle pressure is what does damage to a suppressor - to much of it in general, and too much of it for how hot the metal is during a firing schedule. You'll notice the .338 minimum length is shorter than the 7mm ands 308 magnums - because the larger bore has a lower muzzle pressure at any given powder mass. That's why 223 Rem has a longer minimum barrel length than a 6.8 SPC - the 6.8 bore is larger so has a lower muzzle pressure even with the increase in case powder capacity. Another thing to consider is that these are barrel lengths minimums are related to a maximum pressure in the sense that they're the highest pressure point - longer barrels have lower muzzle pressures so you could be in the place where it never matters if you shoot a 28-32" tube.
