Everyone I know who's bought a 5" or 7" can, because they thought they'd only want to run it on a Blackout... has purchased another full size .30 can. Once you start rolling suppressed.... it's the only way you want to shoot anymore.
Buying anything but a full size .30 suppressor, when you've got other bigger rifles.... is like buying an F-150 when you've got a 5th-wheel, a big boat, some quads, and a sled trailer in the shed. Go the whole nine... you won't be sorry.
I run a SAS Arbiter... as do about a dozen pards. A couple others are running the SilencerCo Harvester. My brother shot a bedded cow elk at 350 yards the other day with a .260 through the Harvester. There was another cow bedded less than 40 yards from the one he shot... and she never even stood up when her partner dropped dead. Cans are the goods... you'll want one that'll work for every club in your bag.... not just your pitching wedge....
For the record.... I fully expect you to ask this same question about 19 more times in various sections of this website... but I'm only gonna answer you once... so tag this post.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

Question for you suppressor shooters. I ordered a .300 Blackout today. What suppressor should I get? I'm hesitant to assist the stupid, but I'll make an exception in your case. Is it an AR, or a bolt gun? Dave I'm hesitant to respond to someone so impolite, but I will make an exception in your case. It doesn't make any difference whether it is an AR or a bolt gun. The powder and bullets don't know any difference. Um, I have a Ruger American Ranch 300BO and, yes, it is different shooting the exact same handloads when compared to my 10.5" 300BO upper. I added weep holes to the blast chamber and first two baffles and the blowback was a LOT better. I don't get blowback on my bolt gun. YMMV

Thank you. You have issues with regular rounds. Learning to load quiet and accurate sub rounds with good enough bullets, ain't gonna be fun for you. Regular rounds? Everything I have is a wildcat. This will be a regular round. When the Weatherby was a .257SLR it was a 1/2-3/4MOA rifle for three three shot groups fired at the same target. When I rebarreled it to the 6.5mm I could never get it to shoot well. The other 6.5 had a crooked barrel. It was disassembled and the parts sold; except for the stock which is still for sale. If this .300 Blackout does like rifles prior to my 6.5mm experiences it will be no difficulty at all. Never mind, I'm done. You won't have to listen to my replies any more. We ahve to start at the ground level and I'm to old to have to go back and start at the ground level.

To clarify, I make my own. You only really need one tool.... to make this: For 300 bucks including stamp.

Trail Boss was developed for Cowboy Action Shooting, using "soft" lead bullets. When I first started loading sub sonic for my suppressed .44, Trail boss was recommended to me. I found I really could not get enough of it in a .44 case to propel a jacketed 300 gr bullet. Worked great with lead semi-wadcutters of 240 grs. With those at about 850 - 900 fps, it really is quieter than my pellet gun, although probably not a lot more lethal. After confirming Trail Boss was meant for lead only, I used Universal, then Tight Group for my sub sonic loads, and both work well with either hard cast of jacketed bullets.

Mike Heavy'ish .308 caliber bullets and Trail Boss are pretty much the universal recipe for subsonic loads in the .308 Winchester. I've run mine to 300 and they stay minute of beer can. Travis

Jacketed or cast?
I shoot 335 gr hard cast in my .44, sub sonic, and after about 75 yards they drop like a rock. This is with Universal.

I have a lathe and milling machine. Always looking for new projects. Thank you. I would refer you to the form-1 suppressor forum and silencer talk forums. I make no claims at being an expert, I just followed stuff others there did, and have not blown myself or anyone else up yet. There is a really good thread about baffle stack configuration and spacing.

Yup, doesn't take too much googling to find suppressor designs and pros and cans of baffle designs or monocores.
Haven't gotten a stamp yet, but have done the research for future projects.

Can you sell them afterward or is it strictly held onto for yourself?

Travis No you cannot sell them. That requires licensing and fees to do. And it isn't like selling a "few" guns without being a dealer.

They can go to my estate and pass on just like ant other NFA item.
Building and selling without the license is a big no-no though.

I don't have any other .308 firing rifles and don't plan on getting any. I am putting this together for coyotes and don't plan on using something this heavy for other hunting so there's no need for me to "tag this post."
