[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1465194, member: 11132"] you have sort of opposing issues when you add in suppressors. As Rich has said the larger the caliber the closer ratio of bore to powder volume means faster powders and more efficiency i.e powder burned per barrel length. But a suppressor works off the gasses and its effect on vel is from its effect on efficiency. It allows more powder to burn. This is also the case for sound suppression. A more powder to bullet cal the more % of sound suppression. So if you want the suppressor that has the most effect on sound and vel you want to go with a smaller cal to powder ratio. But this may not mean that it will win in absolute terms other than increased vel from the suppressor. Honestly though with those calibers it should work well either way as its not that extreme. Like Rich said what range and targets/game are the goal? Technically all things being equal the 6.5 would add the most vel from the suppressor but then it also would likely have lost the most vel as the barrel gets shorter so........... [/QUOTE]
