need some info & advice on suppressors

[General ap.hill 47]

Have never owned one, but have read some articles.
I have a model 10 savage heavy barrel in 22-250, would like some input from someone that has the same caliber, tell me about the noise reduction, is the added length any problem. what brand of suppressor you have or recommend.
anything you can think of may be helpful so don't be bashful.

I don't shoot a 22-250,but have several heavy/varmint contour barreled rifles that I shoot with my suppressor's. You will still get the crack from shooting super sonic ammo,but the report of the shot is a lot quieter. All of my suppressors are titanium,so they only add 14-17 ounces of weight to the gun.The POI change will depend on several factors,but the lighter the suppressor,generally the less POI change.
If you hunt from a blind,the added length can be a problem,I've cut most of the barrels of my blind hunting rifles down to 20" for that reason.
I have two Thunder Beast 30P-1 suppressors,and one Dakota Silencer (Mack Brothers) Varminter 3.0 suppressors,all are 30 caliber cans. Shooting a 30 caliber can on smaller calibers is just as effective as using a 224 caliber can since it has more volume to suppress the gasses.

Once you shoot suppressed,you won't want to shoot without them.

You are right about the 30 caliber suppressor, Saker shows their 30 caliber is slightly quieter than the .223, when used on .223 than their .223 can.

The big cans tend to be quieter - but the trade off is weight and size.
