But, dayum, .223 rounds are *loud* !

Sounds like you need another can. Maybe you should have bought one
that would handle the .223 and you could still use it with your .22rf
... assuming you didn't ;-)


I watched a couple of vids of "silenced" .223 rifles...they aren't that
silent and apparently if you buy subsonic .223 rounds, they tend to be
wimpy. Now, .300 Blackout...that's another matter.

Any center fire SS round will be far from silent but the profile of
the sound usually allows shooting without ear protection.
Most of the sonic crack is actually down range. That is why snipers
like them. You know there was a shot but it is loudest when it is next
to you so it is hard to figure where it came from.
..22 Rim fires don't really have that much crack so it is not that
noticeable. The suppressor the guy I knew had really was not that
great in the house tho because there was so much other noise related
to the shot that it was still very loud. The bullet going into the
trap was a lot of it. He was very disappointed until we went out back
and fired a few down into the bank behind the house.
