What would dampen most..

A: A dedicated silencer for 308?
B: A larger silencer forexample a silencer for 338 LM, however the aperature hole is bigger?

A dedicated silencer will be quieter in theory. That being said, I've put my titan ti on almost all of my centerfire bolt guns and I only observe a deeper tone compared to most caliber specific cans, but it's not noticeably louder. If you want versatility, go for a large caliber can. If you want optimal suppression and a can that's probably lighter and shorter, get a caliber specific can. I'd recommend the latter mostly because as soon as you buy one you'll buy more anyway.

Well deeper tone sounds nice.
