Echo Zulu Altitude 30

[Gtscotty]

Did a search and didn't see a thread on this can, so sorry if this ground has been tread before.

Echo Zulu and the Altitude 30 in particular haven't really been on my radar previously, but y snagged my attention in the latest Juicey video on 30 Cal cans.

Obviously it's pretty high backpressure and wouldn't be great for an AR, but for dedicated bolt gun hunting use, it seemed to compare favorably performance-wise the CAT JL and Sig Tincan considering it's a few inches shorter, half to a third the weight and $150 - $400 cheaper.

Stats and use case seems similar to something like an Airlock, but with a hub mount, which I prefer.

Length - 6"
Width - 1.5"
Weight - 6.5oz
Rated - 300 RUM
Thread - Hub with included 5/8x24 DT mount
Price - $750

Has anyone gotten hands on and compared performance to other standard cans?

Curious on the feedback too, as this is a nice looking setup for the weight and money. Wish they’d get a bit more detailed on their barrel length restrictions on the site, unless I just missed it.

I personally know them. They know what they are doing when it comes to engineering cans. They also have a top 5 M-4 (5.56) can on PEWScience.

I have personally held one and have seen the internal stack geometry. Yes, it's as good as you are thinking.

They look nice. And reviews look good. No experience with them though

Same. I have a b&t Ti can on my 300 blk rattler. Could this handle that too?

The owner messaged me back very promptly and seems like an incredibly nice and helpful guy. He said the Altitude 30 would easily handle a 25 PRC from 20-22” which is my use case.

Similarly, called them today and the guy I talked to was really cool, not in a hurry to get me off the phone or anything, willing to answer any questions and discuss.

He said in general the only real limits they have are 20" for the big magnums, and 10.5" for 5.56. I did ask him about my 19" 7mm PRC, 18.5" .30-06, 18" 6.5 CM and 16" .308. He said all of those were fine for the Altitude 30, and are the kind of hosts they use and designed it for. The only thing he said they were hesitant to rate it for was 7mm Backcountry due to the higher pressure and short barrels a lot of folks are running. Sounds like there should be a restock pretty soon, I'm thinking I might give one a go.

Hmm, I wonder how it does on 300 blackout. Theres not a lot of comparisons out there with this can right now.
