Whats everybody using to suppress the 17hmr

[maskedbandit]

I have a Volquartsen 17hmr and was wondering what suppressor you guys are using with it. Since the ammo has an actual copper jacket I was thinking any .223 can would work?????

I would not do that, it's still a rimfire and will leave a lot of carbon behind, with will fill your suppressor up shortly. Use a take a part can like the Spectre.

You can't suppress the sonic crack made by the bullit in flight.

Hoping to test my dads Spectre on my 17, just waiting on TT to get it back to me threaded. Should be sweet.

SWR Spectre

Yeah what he said.

Shot my Spectre for the first time this past weekend on my Marlin 17V. Both my brother and I were amazed at the level of sound reduction. It was a pleasure to shoot without hearing protection.

This pic was taken before I had the barrel threaded.

I've been down the .17 road and won't own another one, but my SRT "Commanche" has .17/.22 Rimfire engraved into the tube. (It came with a take-down wrench and cleaning instructions.)

Jacketed bullet + the small charge of fast burnng (ball?) powder should make for longer interval between cleanings.

Don't concern yourself that much about the supersonic "crack!" as I believe ti sounds more like a broken stick than a gunshot, and the sound won't carry as far nor be as alarming to game/varmints as an unmuffled gunshot in the same caliber.

YHM Stainless Mite, cheap and effective on the .17HMR.
