Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

[Mtnmilsurp]

Mine sounds great but blew up the groups on 2 rifles:

- 16” tikka T3x 8 twist: I’ve tried 69 and 77 TMKs and SMKs with 8208 XBR, IMR4895, TAC, and CFE223, and factory Black Hills 75 HP Match. Best was 1.3” 10-round groups with an anemic 24 grain load of IMR4895 and 69TMK. 8208XBR and 77TMKs were over 2” with 23.0-23.5 gr 8208XBR. Everything else was 1.5” or worse. Rifle shoots inch or better with multiple loads unsuppressed.

- 20” AR (Faxon fluted hbar) in 6 ARC with factory Hornady 108s were 2.5” suppressed, 1.2ish unsuppressed

- 20” AR 5.56 with Luth-AR 9 twist HBAR shot 69 SMKs with CFE223 in under an inch with the nomad ti xc

- 18” AR in 6 Creedmoor with 7 twist Rainier barrel shot right under an inch with factory hornady 108 ELDM with the nomad ti xc.


I burned a boatload of powder trying to get that tikka to shoot well suppressed. I thought for sure the 77TMK 8208 XBR combo would be the answer. I guess I’ll have to either buy it a different suppressor or different barrel.

Ouch. I haven't shot mine yet, hope it doesn't give me issues like that. I wonder if the mount system would make a difference, going to brake mount rather than DT or vice versa. If you know somebody who'll let you shoot with other suppressors that could help prevent wasting money and buying another that doesn't work.

Shot mine today on my competition 6.5 PRC and it shot as good as ever.

I wonder if it could be the thread job/shoulder on the one that won't shoot

I shot mine on two tikkas. A 308 and 6.5 creedmoor. A different point of impact obviously, but groups were both great.

The ti xc i received shoots small groups, direct thread, it did move my impact maybe 3-4” cant remember, it will live on one rifle…i take it off after every session to clean barrel and it shoots same after re installing. Liked it enough to order a lti xc to try on magnum. Hopefully you can find similar results, good luck…
