Polonium 30 experience?

[Machingeaneer]

Anyone running a Polonium 30 on your bolt guns, specifically on some bigger cartidges?

Looking for a can to save on hearing for 3-5 hunting shots a year and trying to keep overall barrel/can length under 26" up to .300 WSM. While not the lightest, the Polonium seems to be a great value but I'd love to hear some first hand experience.

For what it costs I am pleased with it. I don’t like it as much as my Nomad TIXC or Reaper. I think they are both more pleasant to shoot in a hunting situation. Bonus is it’s very durable.

Thanks for the input! What cartridge and barrel length were you shooting through it?

10.5” 300 BO
12.5”-20” 223
20” 6.5 Creed
20” 7 PRC

I mostly got it for my blasters but I had to run everything I could through it first.

Stumbled across this thread while searching for experiences- commenting here as a reminder to myself to update.

Bought a OCL Polo 30 today as my first suppressor, going to run it my 6.5 PRC Tikka , hoping to add a .223 trainer next year, swap the OCL to that, and get an Airlock ZG 6.5 for my PRC long-term.

I should have it fairly soon, will update with range experience and opinions as a 1st time suppressor owner. Before last year I had only hunted with my old Ruger M78 Mk2 308. Taken 40+ game animals with it but also love Alaska and don’t want to (severely) abuse my wood/blued rifle with their weather,

Have shot with cans a fair bit on friends’ setups, but up until recently I was not in a position to have such nice things

We shot a bunch of different suppressors on my brothers 300 wsm. To us the polo 30 sounded the best and quietest. Suppressors tested included aero precision lahar 30l, polo 30, banish 30 (7”), ab warthog (very close second), silencerco hybrid 36m.

I ended up buying a Diligent Defense Enticer S but I can already see multiple cans in my future and the Polo is still an attractive option for cheaper cans that will stand up to the big boomers. The enticer is going on my 6.5 creed first.
