[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1380627, member: 75933"] I try to run my Omega on longer barrels when possible, even in the woods. I can say for certain that running even a good can on a short barrel will decrease it's effectiveness. I have used the Omega on my ar10 with 18" 308, and it's loud enough that I use loose ear plugs. But, when I use the same can on my 24" 25-06, using 10gr more powder, the rifle is very easy to shoot without hearing protection. Same with my 22" 260 rem, that gun is even quieter than the longer barrel. If you're looking for the best sound reduction from your 308, try a lighter bullet and choose your powder from the lower end of the pressure range. I tried several lower pressure powders and found them to be accurate and noticeably quieter from the 18" barrel. [/QUOTE]
