Different suppressors = different groupings?

[TimberHunter]

Have a great track records with a tikka 6.5 and harvester suppressor. Usually around 1”, never worse than 1.25” for 7-10 shots

Last year I got an AB 8 stack and it just hasn’t seemed to group as consistent when shooting the same factory Hornady precision hunter ammo.

Has anyone else experienced this? The harvester is heavier compared to the AB so maybe it quiets down the harmonics of the barrel?

My DD LTI on 1 of my rifles opens up noticably more than my nomad ti. I haven't shot enough with my other rifles to know if it's opens on them all or just that specific rifle.

Absolutely different suppressors can open or tighten groups, as well as change your point of impact

You are changing the weight that is hanging off of the end of the barrel - why wouldn't it change everything?!

Hahah same! Worse than the day I listened to Jocko talked about the USS Liberty

I've got a cheaper Silencerco on the kids Sig Cross. The gun is super picky about what it likes. So I'm wondering if it'd shoot better with my Thunderbeast. But I don't want to know ha

To follow up, there isn’t much difference between the suppressors the more I shot them. I think I just happen to shoot bad a few times with a certain one

This. Changing the weight, and even the distribution of that weight, will certainly change barrel harmonics, which can change POI and precision.
