I'm looking to either build or buy a suppressor in 2016, probably post 41F, but my CLEO signs off, so that's not a hurdle.
Anyway, I want something that will work equally well, or at least well enough, for use with 5.56x45, 9x19, and I'm thinking about getting a .300 blackout.
Does tube length/ diameter matter, or is it more in the physics of baffle shape? I want to test one of the Maglight suppressors, using a 4 cell sleeve and using a variety of baffles, both the aluminum ones that come in the kits, as well as the steel ones formed from freeze plugs. I've heard the aluminum one's tend to suffer significant damage from factory 5.56 loads, and I'm hoping the steel baffles will act as a buffer to extend the life of the aluminum baffles.
Can I expect adequate noise reduction using one suppressor for all three calibers?
Eventually, I'll be hand loading 5.56 so I can more finely tune them to subsonic, same as 9mm. The .300 will be factory ammo at first, until I get a good supply of brass, then I'll begin loading my own.
