Load development with suppressor

[Chestnut]

I had a load developed with a rifle. Since development i threaded the barrel and added a suppressor. There was a POI shift but i can't tell that the load accuracy changed.

My other rifle was already threaded, removing the factor brake and adding the suppressor didn't change any loads there either.

I'd still dev the load with it on though. Every time I shoot unsuppressed i ask myself "Why did i just do that?"

Just recently Hornady came out with the VT line of bullets. The 62 gr .224 has been an issue for shooters experimenting in various cartridges/twist rates.

I do all my load testing w my suppressors on. Then I'll test poi without it just to check the differences.

They give my new build a fit. 22 creed

And they shoot amazing in my 8" twist 22-204.

I've shot milk jugs at 900+ and made the long shot of the trip on a prairie dog at 650.


And I've never done load work with the can attached, but have seen an accuracy bump after screwing them on in virtually every instance.
