Harvester with 308

[samson7x]

Can anyone tell me what a 308 meters with the Harvester? I know they list 21-34dB reduction range according to the various calibers it accommodates. I'm only interested in 308 at the moment and would like to pick one up if it is more toward the 34 end of that spectrum.

I have a feeling that the '34' end of the spectrum is .300BLK. I'd expect any supersonic round to be in the 23-27dB range.

OK we have an actual .308 reading for you. Sorry it has taken so long.

22" GA Precision bolt gun

.308 168gr Gold Metal Match

136.5dB at the muzzle

I'd like to see a comparison at the "shooters ear" (maybe of the Saker and the Harvester)
With the brake at the end of the silencer, I'd expect that it would meter louder at the muzzle (directing gasses and noises right towards the mic).

What was unsuppressed reading?

Vette, I image that it was 168dB. That's typical, but powder would make a difference.

I agree w chris. Overall sound at Shooter's ear and 10m to side would probably meter better w a "finned muzzle device." Spreading the gas volume over a larger surface area should cause less atmospheric compression wave, but would direct some waves toward the mic at 1m side.

I don't assume anything.

The average was 167.47dB unsuppressed

How about one of those famous silencerco comparison videos that helped to sell so many people on your cans?

Those videos are like little droplets of love falling from heaven!
