Yep the 7.62 saker is the way I'm going. With the 5.56 end cap silencerco notes a noticeable decibel reduction over the regular 5.56 saker.
Its the best option I've currently found under $1k
Sounds like a win to me since now I can shoot both yoursCorey posted videos a few years back using both 5.56 and 7.62 cans. I wish I had seen it before I bought my 5.56.
If I were starting over, I'd get the 7.62 and be done. Now I'll end up with both.
Online I can hear a distinct difference. In person, I can't tell you yet. But soon I will.The human ear can not tell the differance so I am told.
After 50 years of shooting I would not be the best judge of what is quieter.
I have shot both 223 in 223 cans and in .30 cal cans of several makes and models and
cannot tell the diff.
Weight is why I went with their titanium can. They also make the LT which is full auto rated and only weighs 20 oz (barely heavier than most 5.56 cans).I've used my YHM 30 cal can on my AR before. I really cant tell the difference in sound from it and my gemtech 556 can. The downside is that the 30 cal can is much larger and much heavier.

Im the the one who shot that video. It was with my not so great small digital camera, so it's hard to tell much on the video. In person, I remember hearing a slight tone difference but little noticeable volume difference. I'm not a swat door kicker, so I went with a .30 cal can for my first rifle can. It works very well on my .30 cal as well as .223 caliber guns.
Allen, you are welcome to shoot my .30 cal SAS can on any of my rifles you'd like. The AR I got from you a few years ago is actually threaded 5/8-24 for my .30 cal can. I also have a few thread adapters so I can shoot it on several other guns. Plus, with a .30 cal can, you'll be ready to jump into the .300. BLK game! Of course you know I'm going to push you to form 1 a can! Well, two cans really! With your skills, it'd be no trouble. For you to make both caliber cans for less than buying one and then you can test it out yourself!
