30 cal compensators

[Jsh2A]

Hi all,

I just picked up a 300 PRC and am looking at compensators. I don't know much, so wanted to ask. Would any .30 cal compensator work? Looking online, the bullet diameter is .308. Should a regular .308 comp be okay?

a .308 muzzle device should be fine, what manufacturer is the rifle? MOST .30 cal stuff is 5/8x24 but not always. Some times it's 1/2x28 or sometimes it's metric depending on the manufacturer. Last rifle I bought was an a bolt in .300wm it was metric.

Thanks for your response! It's a CVA Cascade. Looks like it's a 5/8x24.

Thanks for your response! That's a good looking comp.

Here's another good option. Either the area419 or the one listed below will get the job done.

I've had these on 7mm magnums and large 338's and they work really well.

I will say, the suppressor doesn't tame her as much, but she's a lot quieter.

I don't have a prc, but with a can on it I would hand my wife my .300 win mag a bolt without a 2nd thought.

I don't know much about suppressors either. Would a .30 cal be good for multiple cartridges (.308 and 300 prc)? Seems like the 300 prc would have much higher pressures than a .308.

Did you get a can that's .300 win mag specific or is it a .308 can?

I have a TBAC Ultra 7, she's rated for the higher pressure.

If you have the choice and the funds I'd go with a suppressor over a comp. Although it's gunna be a mess here in a few months with the $0 tax.

I run an Alaskan 360 on my .300 win mag. It's rated for up to .338 lapua. It's a overboar, but I can shoot it without ear pro with 200gr precision hunters with no ear ringing.

I %100 agree! To me the extra $200 now and with current short wait times, well pre shutdown wait times it is worth it. I imagine everyone is going to be out of everything in the near future.

Definitely worth just getting a 30 cal suppressor and running on a few guns. And once you use that you will love it so much you be buying more

Very true, I will say a .36 or .46 cal can is also a good first. Can shoot .30 cal up to 9mm or up to .45 auto/ .45-70
