My buddy had one. It looks great, is super light and sounds good. He was getting some POI shifts and it really opened his group size up.

I have a sandstorm. It is great and my groups are small.

I don't have any other 7.62 cans to compare to, but it is hearing safe.

It did open his group size up, I don't know how or why but it did.

His rifle will shoot one ragged hole size groups without a can or with his other can. When he put the sandstorm on, the group size opened up to around 3/4". He tried the sandstorm on a different rifle and had the same results, increased group size.

Like I said before the can looks really good and has a nice sound but his accuracy did suffer. I will see if I can get some pics of his targets.

I had the same problem with an AWC can. It turned out that the bullets were "breathing" on the last couple baffles. I found copper on them with a Hawkeye and called Chris.

They fixed it and now my m25 shoots 3/4 groups and sounds great.
