Gents - I hope you Sunday is going well! As the title suggests, I'm new with suppressors and want to make a smart first purchase. I'm definitely going the Trust route for many reasons already discussed.

I've got a 10.5" 300 and a 16" 300 as well as the same in .223. Would you buy a 300 can and use it for both platforms? I also have a 308 that I'm considering as well. Is it smarter to purchase one expensive can for all or less expensive cans for specific calibers? What makes this difficult is trying to understand the limits of diminished returns if I spend more money for more cans. I hope that makes sense.

I plan to primarily use the can for 300 subsonic but would love to apply it to multiple calibers and super/sub rounds.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Buy a 30 cal can and use it on all of your rifles.  I have a YHM Phantom that I use for 308, 300blk, and 5.56

It works good enough on 556 which is hard to suppress anyhow. I bought the YHM Phantom M2 QD. So my 556 and 300 have QD mounts an the suppressor is a quick change between them.

Thanks for the feedback. It seems lots of folks love the AAC 762-SDN-6 as well. Any personal reasons for choosing one over the other?

The YHM was almost $300 cheaper and comes with an included QD mount. The AAC mount is sold desperately for $70 or more. Also the YHM QD system is twist-on, twist-off which allows mounting underneath a rail if desired. The AAC you have to depress a lever to release the teeth. Both offer similar db results. I so think the AAC is a little lighter. The 762 SDN is a great suppressor and no way would you regret the purchase. For me it was a better value for the phantom. Edited July 27, 2014 by Lumber_Jack

I went with the SWR Specwar 7.62. I am very happy with it as well. It is also a quick attach using the SWR flash hiders. There is a good video below in this section which compares many if the ones mentioned in this thread. Look for the "Comparison of 308" thread. I am on my phone and don't know of any easy way to post the link. It isn't too far down.
