Thanks for the info but I kinda know that stuff. I been shooting subsonic suppressed for a few years. I am kinda in search of specific info in regards to the differences of gas-pressure bi-product. (amounts produced), 'Post burn' of the load. Using different powders for my .30-221
I am using a 16" barrel on my .30-221 and it is pretty short. I have noticed that when I am using a longer barrel on subsonic suppressed. The longer the barrel is the quieter the noise level. (IMHO) This has to do with the amount of barrel volume in relationship to the ID volume of the SupCan. and how much powder pressure and gas is eaten up in the barrel and Can before being squeezed-out the muzzle after the trigger is pulled.
For example, The quietist .30 cal. centerfire boltgun load I ever worked up. was in a 30" barrel and .308 suppressor with the 'Trailboss' powder. Also in Rimfire .22 also the longer barrel with SupCan, The quieter the pressure let-off, out of the Can is.
So less gas produced Post Burn of a powder, In a short barrel that is suppressed. Is definitely going to be quieter. And that's what info I am in search of but I may be getting way out in left-field, spining my wheels and into the stratosphere for most out there reading this. .....
. but I am pretty sure that there is a differences in amounts of powder-burn gas bi-product in different factory blends of powder.

anyway here is a Pic. of the new, bucket-of-bolts, 300-221 I am working on right now @ this time.
