Unknown suppressors OG testing

[ztc92]

Please explain what you mean by “the 6.5 PRC is the upper limit of what the OG is really made for”.

So despite being a 30 cal can, it wasn’t really made for 7mm or 30 cal applications? Would reccomend something else then if someone was looking for a 7mm or 30 cal can then?

Also, now I’m really confused why the OG 6.5 needed to come out so quickly if the OG was ‘really made for’ the same thing. Educate me, not trying to be a dick but sincerely curious what you mean by comment above.

I think this comment speaks more to the fact the 6.5 PRC is a magnum and has less to do with bore diameter.

My understanding is that the OG was designed for non-magnums. So using with a 7-08 or 308 would be just fine and what it was designed for, whereas 7mm Mag or 300 Win Mag would be above the upper limit.

From the very beginning it was stated repeatedly that the OG was optimized for 30cal and below, and standard cartridges of 50’ish grains of powder and below. That while it will be below 140 dBA SE with most common magnum cartridges and barrel lengths, and safe to use with them- it was not optimized for magnums. If your primary use is magnum cartridges, unless added OAL is a primary concern, the OG is probably not what you want.
If you primarily use standard cartridges with only occasional use on magnums, it certainly is safe to use on them, and will be under 140 dBA SE. The 6UM and 6.5 PRC is about the upper limit of what I would use the OG on as a primary can.

Why and how of the OG65 has been explained to you multiple times.

Ok thanks. And what is the upper limit of the OG 6.5 for primary use applications? The same the OG as in 6UM and 6.5 PRC as well?

No. So far if it’ll fit through the bore, it suppresses well. 20” 7PRC is 132-133 dBA SE- that’s the same or better on average than lots of 7” cans.

Ok got it, the upper limit of the OG for primary use applications is 6UM/6.5 PRC while the upper limit of the OG 6.5 for primary use applications is 7 PRC.

UM wasn’t kidding around when they said the OG 6.5 was “way better”. I want one..

For probably the 5th time- the OG65 is not “way better” than the OG- they are different cans. They look the same, have definite cross over use, but they are DIFFERENT cans. It’s not “way better” without being specific in its use. That was ignorant of whoever said it.

The OG65 is better at suppressing 6.5mm and below (and potentially 7mm with the user accepting the possible risk) than the OG. It will also be not as durable overall- though more than durable enough for the use case. It isn’t “way better” with 308 or any other 30cal, or if you won’t accept the risk- with 277 or 7mm bullets. The OG will also be better long term on an AR in heavy use.

If US is looking to market beyond Rokslide members it would be wise to state this stuff on the product page rather than requiring anyone who buys a US product to find a forum they may not know about, then wade through 2-5 threads worth of posts and bickering to decipher product goals. US's page says the OG is "30 caliber" with no mention of powder quantities.

Amen.
