The thing lots of people don’t realize with integrally suppressed rifles is the actual barrel section is very short so you loose lots of velocity. Even in that video they mention the short barrel. A friend of mine spent a huge chunk of change building a custom 257 weatherby mag with an integrally suppressed barrel and after taking the outer sheath off the actual barrel length was only 16.5”. His velocity was no more than a 257 Roberts with a 22” barrel. Talk about a waist of money. IMO of course.

I won't agrue there are pros and cons depending on caliber but they are purpose built. There's obviously a trade off with overall length especially with magnum or LA cartridges but can be minimized depending on the build. Example, I'm shooting a integral 20" barrel 7rem mag with a 8" stack with very little loss in velocity (3030fps). Also little loss with a 6cm with a 18" barrel (2990). I'll admit these are hand loads though. Having experience with integral calibers including 308, 6cm, 243, 6.5prc, 300win mag, and 7mag, a 16" barrel wouldn't have been my choice.Last edited by Notaguide; 10-25-2022, 09:16 AM.
