Question for the suppressor nerds in here about 300blk suppression and can options, could use some insight.
I'm interested in chasing movie-quiet 300blk subs. I've currently got a 10.3" BA Hanson upper and am not opposed to bolt action down the line somewhere. My two current can options right now are both pistol cans -- I've got an Obsidian9 and Octane45 both in jail, both of which will work with 300 subs. Realistically it'll be the Octane45 that lives on the 300blk build. I do plan on handloading my ammo eventually, if that matters.
My question is this: Obviously a dedicated .30 cal can would be a better option than a .45 cal (or 9mm) pistol can, but how much better would it be? Talk to me in simple dumdum terms if you can... Are we talking a couple db that's nice but not revolutionary, or are we talking about a life-changing difference in sound signature with wow factor?
Here's why I ask: I don't really shoot rifles much, so a .30 cal can would be a fairly significant investment basically just for the 300blk. So I'm wondering if it's really genuinely worth the big spend for a new can, or if the ones I have will be "good enough"
