A Serious Question . . .

30 cal or larger caliber at 1,000 fps from a locked breach through a quality can is quiet.

I have shot a 30-30 pushing a 175 gr bullet at 1,000 fps using fast burning pistol powder. When you shoot it, you think it was a misfire and it did not go off. If a custom 1 in 7 30 cal barrel was cheap, shooting a 250 gr bullet would be no louder, but would hit much harder.

There are other combos that work better and you can bet the special forces had stuff supplied to then that was top notch.

Thanks. I am sure they had special things just for that. Just curious if anyone had experience and knew. I don't reload and am not familiar with ballistics. I just know what is available to us peons.

I would love to have a can that could handle 38/357ammo. That would open up a lot more bullet profiles to try. Rifle would need a faster than stock twist, I think Green Mountain Barrels has made some in the past.

Is the problem with .38 or .357 in a 30 caliber can with the pressure of the round?

9mm can should work.

Bullet won't fit. 30 cal hole won't pass 357 size boolit.

For me, I would want a can that can handle rifle loads, cause sometimes fast is good too.

Upon checking my new Optimus is rated for .357. Are you saying the .357 won't fit through the 9mm endcap?
I don't have a host for .357.

You are fine. I thought you asked about 357 through a 30 cal
