Suppressors will hold the pressure on the brass for a longer time.

Loads that are at real max unsuppressed can show pressure signs suppressed.

Not an issue with most all factory ammo but handloads right up against the pressure the brass moves will see more brass movement with a suppressor.

Well said.
