I really like my Hydrogen 6.5 S, and have a 6.5L in jail. If you are wanting a K length can, then the hydrogen K might be the best choice ou
I’m signed up for some alerts on these. Can’t find them in stock anywhere.
OCL Hydrogen here, too.... before that , an Ultra7.
Noticeable upgrade?
I've been trying to find either the new Nomad Ti or LTi XC but everyone tells me they're 4-6 weeks out till they get them in. I'm still undecided on which one I think I want the Ti or LTi. The original Nomad Ti and LTi were really impressive cans so if these new XC versions are even just slightly better it'll be a win win. In TBAC's big test they did it looks like both new DA Nomad XC cans performed pretty well.
I looked at these as well. Wonder how close the sound reduction would be with this can or the hydrogen 6.5.

You looking for the K? Looks like they sent out a batch a couple weeks ago, and they said they only do these a couple times a year, so might not be any soon unless they up the production schedule.

Here is an S - https://www.blackanklemunitions.com/products/otter-creek-labs-hydrogen-s-6-5mm/

I’ll hold out for the K or go with a different suppressor.
Shows in stock, but I wouldn't wait too long to grab one if it is want you want. The ones at Silencershop sold out.

Sorry, I did mean the S length. How much of a difference in the S and K is there for recoil and sound reduction?

I don't have a K, so I don't know. From what I hear, K puts you on the edge or slightly over for reasonable hearing damage. For me, the extra 2" and couple of ounces for the S is worth it. But, there are a number of people that run K length for hunting. I just look at is as more of a "harm reduction" thing - if it is K or nothing, then K is better. But, S will put you closer to or under the hearing safe line.

Banish Backcountry...this is my only suppressor so I have no comparison but it seems to do ok. I do know it's not hearing safe but for hunting it will do. I think I'd buy a Hydrogen for it if I were to buy a dedicated suppressor.

I believe I'm going to continue to have 30cal tubes so I can move them to different rifles.

Banish Backcountry for my 308 Winchester with a 20" barrel. Banish 46 for anything larger than .308 bore. Good enough to hunt with w/o protection but if I'm shooting multiple rounds at a range session, I'm using hearing protection regardless of who's suppressor I'm using. No suppressor is hearing safe if shooting multiples at the range as far as I can tell. All are over 120 Db. I believe.

Coolness. I have my 6.5 S on a .223 right now, super quiet. I was going to buy a second 6.5 S for my 6.5cm, but got a 6.5 L instead. Now just have to wait for it to be approved.
