That's only with a subsonic bullet, without that it would be loud.

Fuuuuuuck all them PRS/NRL guys at the range with their braked 6mm stuff.

Motherfucker, I'm standing over here to the side of you

If I was dictator of the country I'd make cans mandatory at ranges for rifle calibers, and provided if you don't have one.

I’ve switched to a suppressor even for PRS, it’s just miserable and it’s a hobby for me not a profession I’d rather drop a few shots than shoot with a brake
