308 can question
How efficient are slant baffles in 30 cal. I have seen some .30 cal cans advertised at -32dB and only 8 and some inches long. Have looked over some patents that have given me some ideas

Re: 308 can question
For awhile I've wanted to do a side by side comparison of different baffles. With so many variables it would have to be well thought out to keep the baffles as the only difference betwix the cans. I did this in a small way using cones made of freeze plugs verses aluminum stepped cones and the stepped cones won out. (This was judged using my ears). I've got too many kids to go much beyond that....
I would say try it out and report back...

Slant baffles work fine with the 308 it's just more difficult to make that cones.

Re: 308 can question
is not that easy to make slant baffles , maybe you have skills and equipment , if you want to try something more simple and efficient take a look at my drawings , first one ( only cones ) is inspired by ciener cans , ciener cans are very quiet although it looks simple in design , ciener cones are more or less 90 degree , so are shark 308 baffle cones except blast baffle which is a kind of tower with four channels around , it means that 90 degree cone is a good choice , the hard thing you have to do is '' experimenting '' a little with spacers , the easy thing is that 90 degree cone can be stamped ( you save some $$$ )
this second one suppressor drawing is inspired by something i'v seen lately ,the concept of expanding a quantity of gasses forward and backward than through baffles looks very logical to me so i simplified the original design to this one.
