Deker 3,491 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Difficult this, as most Mod Manufacturers ONLY state a sound reduction, most mods will give "approx" 25-32db Reduction....so you need to establish the original, unsuppressed Db. The propellant crack "can" be quite effectively moderated, but the sonic boom is a killer...even a good mod on a .308 still leaves a BIG crack! Whilst it is a good cop out for manufactures not stating a final Db you can understand the problems involved, with vast quantities of different ammo, barrel length, barrel widths etc etc!!
