762-SD other calibers...

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

762-SD other calibers...

Post by Wrench_V10 »

Looking into purchasing another can for multiple hosts. From reading everything I can on here buying a can for just .223 is somewhat of a waste. Really considering the 762-SD cause it looks like I can use it on a lot of different calibers. So what all will it work on with very little chance of failing? The first it would see is .223, and probably then .308. But is the 762-SD safe for use on others such as .243, 22-250, or 7mm-08. And then as far as the 30's go is 308 the most it can handle? Cause I also have a 30-06 and 300 mag.

If by a "waste" you're implying shorter, quieter and lighter, then yea, 223 cans are a waste.

If you can only afford one, then the 762SD seems great. If you can afford a 223 can and a 308 can then that seems like the thing to do.

There was a thread awhile back about what you would do differently if starting over. A lot of people said they would skip the 223 can. IMO, since 223 doesn't get what anyone would consider "quiet" a 308 can might make sense for a lot of people. For me, I'm thinking about getting a cheap 223 can (Ranger or other) then a top of the line 308 can. If the 308 makes it to my 223 hosts then that's great, if the ranger sits in the safe most of the time then that's fine too, I'll keep it as a spare. For me, I would not buy a top of the line 223 and a top of the line 308 can.

It's your dollar though.

More or less as of now I can only afford one. So buying a top of the line can to use on as much as I can right now makes more sense for me. Hell I'd love to buy one for every gun and just leave them on all the time but that's not a financial reality. Maybe a little while down the road I'll purchase another. And I'm pretty sure that I did read that thread that your talking about. Still want to find out what all I can use the 762-SD on before I go any farther. And maybe if there's any better 30 cal cans that I should consider too.

Too much pressure for the 762-SD. The 300 WM would definitely be a no-go. For that, look for the 300-SD.

308, but not the 30-06 ??? I'd have to question that.

700PSS didn't say anything about a 30-06, only the 300 Win Mag.

762 SD should be good to go with any <.30 cal round with a powder capacity similar or less than 7.62x51 and since its rated for what? 14", or a 16" .308 barrel, some with a slightly higher capacity could be ok with a longer barrel, though I'd definitely ask the manufacturer. 30-06 would obviously be safe, esp with surplus ammo, but even newer hunting loads meant for bolt guns, and 30-06 based other cartriges should be ok with a longer barrel, againask to be sure.

On .30-06 and .300WM: Depending on adequate barrel length, you may reach low enough pressures to not damage the silencer. They (AAC) will not offer warranty coverage if you damage your 762-SD by using cartridges that are generally more powerful than .308 Win. (especially .300WM) however, so do this only at your own risk.

Here's a little info. from a previous thread on the subject:

I'm just a forum member and not associated with AAC (I do own a 762SD). I ran a simulation on Quickload for muzzle pressures using the maximum SAAMI chamber pressures for each type round, because I was interested. Here is what I found.

308
24" 7656psi
18" 10,794psi
16" 12,388psi
14" 14,445psi

300 WSM
26" 9914psi
24" 10,927psi

22-250
26" 9800psi
24" 10,500psi

223 Rem
24" 7056psi
20" 8725psi
16" 11,254psi
12" 15,462psi

and for kicks 7mm WSM
26" 10,667psi
24" 11,746psi

The above are simulations and are ballpark. Actual muzzle pressures may vary in each caliber by 2-500psi depending on the bullet weight used.

i'm kinda in the same boat, leaning towards an SD as well.

has anyone seen some numbers as far as decibels for an SD on a .223?

Thanks for all the great info on this one. I don't plan on running any of those calibers on anything less then a 20" barrel, so looks like I'm good to go on pretty much all of it. What other options are out similar to the 762-SD, and would any of you consider them better then the 762-SD?

Not above 140 ( 134.8 ) with a 16 or 20 in barrel, on the 223

Don't worry about the numbers. There is almost no way to tell the difference with the human ear. I do believe when tested though the 762-SD was only a few DB's louder then the M4-2000. It also has a deeper tone which IMO, makes it easier on the ears and more enjoyable..

I hope Arrowshot will pop into this thread. I sold him a 762SD that is on his 16" AR15. He loaded some subsonics- sounded like his suppressed 10/22 (Spectre) with a bolt lock. The Subsonic 5.56 did not move the action- so it made things even. If you want a multi use can- buy the 762-SD right now and sleep well knowing you made a SOLID purchase. If you only own a 5.56 rifle and will never buy a 6.8 or 7.62 then buy a 2000.
Now, if you are thinking about one day buying a 6.8 or 7.62 rifle... and the budget or CFO will only allow 1 can- buy the 762-SD and enjoy!!!!

Moral of the story- if you can only have 1 can and want multi caliber buy the 762-SD. If not- get a M4-2000 and 762-SD. I would be happy to help you out!!!

Well I'm glad to hear it will work great on just about everything. I'm actually kicking the idea around about getting the Cyclone instead. Here in PA semi-autos are not allowed for hunting, and I usually don't purchase too much that I can't hunt with. There's only one host that would be semi-auto, the rest will probably be bolt guns. I'm not sure that the blackout flash hider would look right on a bolt gun. I did some searching and did find some 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapters to get the cyclone on my ar. I might start a new thread to see some opinions of the Cyclone vs. the 762-SD. Just can't make up my mind right now. But without a doubt my next gun purchase is going to be the new Remington SPS.
