Silencer Saturday #426: Mid-bore Rifle Silencers

Summary

This article explores the use of .36-caliber silencers with 'mid-bore' rifle cartridges like the .35 Whelen and 9.3x62mm, which are larger than .30 caliber but smaller than .40-.45 caliber. The author tested the BOE Suppression MOD1 and SilencerCo Omega 36M silencers on a CVA Cascade XT rifle chambered in .35 Whelen, noting significant reductions in felt recoil and noise, as well as increased heat mirage.
