Just checked 2 more rifles this week after fresh thread jobs. Probably a sample of 15 now. But I don’t doubt others seeing worse accuracy suppressed. I probably will see it too. Just not yet.
When I put the cans on I pay attention to how they thread on and the feel of the snug up
Steve, I always had a hunch it had more to do with the way the gas goes through the baffles. All barrels whip, but the gas entering/exiting the suppressor can effect the harmonics. For example my POI shifts when my YHM Phantom QD Stainless suppressor needs cleaning. I run it through the sonic cleaner and my groups will be a bit loose until I start getting fouling in it then it zeroes right back in. I think that was the issue with the Resonator K. New suppressor and my groups were loose. Kept at it and my groups dialed in. So I suspect what looked like a POI shift due to removing and reinstalling the suppressor had more to with pressure. Since I got it dialed in it seems to go back to zero every time now.
