Clipping cones / best form to clip them

[cal50]

Working on my form 1 can / .308 with titanium tube, baffles , end caps , SS blast baffle , etc.
I am using the classic 30 /60 degree cones and as I understand clipping them helps dwell ( slow down) the gas expansion and induces turbulence.

Looking at various other designs what would be the best style to clip mine for maximum performance ?

I've decided to follow in the footsteps of those before me and go with the triple clip.

Nice job. looks like my 375 cheytac can parts are laying on your desk .

I will have to search for a good link or image of the "triple clipped" baffle.


I have most of the hard stuff done thus far like all my baffles cut and mostly complete. I need to make my 5/8-24 threaded mounting end that will be TIG welded to the titanium tube and a threaded end for the tube exit.

Thanks for the pic, link & info.

Some parts porn....
Titanium tube ready for ends. Steady rest marks not cleaned up yet but after welding. The bronze plug sticking in the end I turned to gauge the ID all the way through. The little stack of baffles are all grade 5 titanium with one stainless steel blast baffle.

My work schedule is killing me, I would rather make suppressors....

You're a naughty tease, and I love it.

Just a few crazy questions.

Normally cones are clipped with rounded cuts. I wonder if it would affect performance, either good or bad, if the cuts were either square or a V notch? I guess it would be easy enough to test for someone who is building, cut in a V notch then turn it into a rounded notch.

Also, which is preferred? A straight cone or one that has a curve in the cone like what is in an Octane?

One more crazy question. Which is better a cone that is full diameter, like those in this thread, or one with a step?

clipping is either a step cut like aac or the scallop cut like swr did/ does
