.458 Suppressor?

[JeffWard]

I was chatting with a friend on FB today about my plans for a .30 suppressor for my 300BLK that could do double duty on my .308 Rem 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD... He said he'd heard of a .458 suppressor, which though heavy, could function on any host platform from 22LR up to 45ACP/.458 SOCOM, as long as it was big enough for the rifle jobs. Basically one can for any gun in inventory assuming you could thread it on.

Is there a .458 suppressor built?
Would it be effective all the way down to .30, or even .223? (I know .30 cans work fine on .223)
Has anybody tested a can on a 45ACP, AND a 300BLK or even .223?

The larger cans are a lot more expensive, and you will likely have a hard time finding all the QD mounts for a 458 sized can. There probably isn't a 1/2"x28 or a 1/2"x36 (9mm) for that size can.

I suggest starting with an Octane 45 for 45 ACP, 40 S&W, 9mm and 300 Blackout suppressed only.
Then add a 30 caliber can which can do your 308 Win, 300 BLK Supersonics and 5.56mm supersonics.
I like a dedicated can for 22LR, they are much smaller in length, diameter and weight. Makes a big difference. With the smaller diameter, on most 22 pistols, I can still see my sights. Any of the other cans that is unlikely to be the case.

Could go custom integral out of Ti - 10.5" barrel .458 w/integral is back to about 20" OAL

The Bowers VESR 458 at Silencershop looks cool. Anyone use it on a 450 Bushmaster? I might have to start another build...

I just completed my paperwork for the Bowers VERS458. I found it surprisingly light for it's size but got two inserts, one for the Tromix 5/8 x 24 and one for the RRA 5/8 x 32. Bowers are good people to deal with. Wish I could give you more about it's functionality but I haven't shot it yet.

I've been using an X-Caliber .45 can to suppress subsonic 405 grain bullets and it does great.

I built a Savage rifle to shoot the .460 Smith and Wesson. With 6 grains of Red Dot its as quiet as anything out there and it hits like a ton of bricks.

So Hot Guns, is that 405gr bullet with the 6gr of RD cast or jacketed?

Cant say enough good things about Tom Bowers and his products. Im very happy with my vers50 and the customer service I received from them

I haven't handled one yet but I hear Wilson's .458 suppressor works well. Also comes with a quick thread custom brake and your choice of finish for $1200 before stamp.
