Typical Muzzle pressures

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

Typical Muzzle pressures

Post by MMH »

I know that muzzle pressure will vary based on cartridge, barrel length, projectile weight, powder and more. Wondering if someone has some ballpark numbers for:

50 cal, 29" barrel
338 Lapua 26" barrel
300WM 26 barrel
308 20 barrel
308 16 barrel
5.56 16 barrel
5.56 10" barrel
