Thunderbeast ultra7 , 1000’s of 6.5,6mm and 223 rounds thru it . Never had a issue
I have several YHM and a Banish 30. The thing I have learned about suppressors is that people research and buy what they believe is the best or most affordable and rarely will admit to making a mistake and wishing they had bought another brand. My experience is that suppressors are different wherever you shoot them. Indoors, outdoors, covered range, woods close by or open prairie. Of course, your choice of ammo will also make a difference. Don’t get hung up on the decibels when a few points is involved because tone can be different and sound louder or quieter to different people.I own three YHM suppressors. First was a steel 30 caliber Phantom QD, the second a 30 caliber Ti Phantom QD and the third a YHM Stinger that can be taken apart for cleaning (very important for 22LR cans). The older one of those 30 cal cans is around 13 years old and has bunches of rounds thru it. The Ti is at least 10 year old and has stayed together with untold amount of everything from 22-250 to 300WM. For the AR I have a 15 year old Gemtech that has been tortured to the point of being so hot it melted things it wasn't supposed to.
Suppressor failures do happen to even the best ones on the market. All the guys that have recommended TBAC here probably just haven't heard form several of my friends who had complete failures of those too.
I see now that Ruger has gotten into the game. Wonder what they will be like?
Also, I notice no one has recommended the Banish 30 and I'm not sure why. I believe it is a modular unit that allows for different calibers up to 30 caliber.
