Suppressor accuracy issue & question
Posted: Sun Jul 14, 2019 7:28 pm
I have an odd issue I'm not able to solve so I'm looking for some advice. This is the handload I'm using:
300 AAC Blackout
220 grain TMJ bullet
7.7 grain of Accurate No. 9
~1000 FPS
I'm using a Form 1 7.5" suppressor designed for the blackout and it's very quite on my all of my 300 AAC firearms.
Here's the issue. I can shoot about a 1/2" group at 50 yards with my Ruger American with the suppressor. However, using my 10.5" AR 300 AAC SBR my groups are all over the place at 50 yards. It's like a 6" group! Nothing is keyholing and I'm not getting baffle strikes. When I remove the suppressor from the 10.5" AR 300 AAC upper I can shoot about a 1" group at 50 yards. Is this a barrel issue with the AR or something else? The suppressor works great on the bold action. I don't have a clue what's going on with the AR. Any ideas?
