Considering a 450 BM purpose built to run with a suppressor.
How quiet would a can built for a BM be on a subsonic 300 BO?
I know it won't be quite as effective as some gas will pass through the bigger bore but how much would it suppress the report?
300 BO subsonic through a .45 can?

I cannot speak directly to your setup, but I run 5.56 thru my 30 cal can and it is definitely hearing safe (even with super sonic ammo).
Re: 300 BO subsonic through a .45 can?
Thanks for the reply. Glad it is at least that effective. If you ever get the chance I would be extremely interested in hearing how subsonic 5.56 sounds through the .30 can.

Way back when, I put some 300 BLK subs from a 16” AR thru my .45 pistol can. It worked but I don’t remember it being great.

I have a .45 can in Batfe jail. It is rated for .300blk subsonic. I figure that if you are under 1200 fPS - and the caliber is .308 - it should work. I have not had the chance to try yet.

I run 300 Blackout through a Hybrid 46 on both a bolt action and a gas system. On the AR, it's not as quiet as my 762 Saker. On the bolt action, it's Hollywood quiet.

I run 300 Blk through my Hybrid 46 as well. Was pleasant surprised by the performance and don't bother changing end caps anymore and leave the .46 on. Chances of a baffle strike go way down this way!

Good to know!
Re: 300 BO subsonic through a .45 can?
It works fairly well but I disagree with the hearing safe comment. You still need to wear hearing protection. As a medical provider, my experience is if it causes ringing in your ear or ears, even a small amount, it will cause damage to your hearing over time. If you doubt what I say, ask an audiologist.
