[QUOTE="itchytriggerfinger, post: 2207200, member: 24854"] Bluedog, you are not clueless. The suppressor, or as Gemtech referred to it 30 years ago when I bought my first one was a “frequency shifter”. It masks or lessens the muzzle blast by redirecting gas as its exiting the muzzle. It does absolutely nothing for the sonic boom or bullet flight noise. In order to affect this, you have to load it subsonic. Not all chamberings are conducive to this. When I started it was with a 308 win case with a 180 gr round nose bullet and with 8.5 grains of the right powder I had a mv of 950-1000 fps, making the bolt action rifle very quiet. It is even quieter than my Ten Point crossbow. [/QUOTE]
