Does anyone have any experience with this can? I’m looking into getting my first suppressor and according to this article I read the resonator seems to be the best bang for the buck. I plan on using it with my 300 blk bolt gun and a 243 and probably a magnum caliber in the future. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

$440 at Silencer Shop...seems to be a great value. Not a fan of the QD attachment but I guess that;s the route you have to go if using on multiple calibers.

If I were to get another 30cal suppressor it would be the YHM or the SiCo Omega 300

The Omega is a .8 inches shorter, 3db quieter and 2oz lighter than the YHM, but then it is more than double the price at $904 from Silencer Shop.

I'm a huge fan of YHM cans. I've had their SS YHM Phantom 30 for about 6-7 years now. I've never had a problem with their QD system and the sound suppression is great, but it is a PIG! Weighs in around 32-34oz. I run it on 5.56, 300BLK, 308, and 6.5CM. It is a work horse. I've had people PM me after matches to ask what suppressor I was using because it seemed so much quieter than the other suppressors that were being used.

I have lighter 30cal can (25oz) from a different manufacture that sits in my safe and is never used.

Glad to hear that report KRoyal. I ordered the YHM Resonator today. It will be my first can. I stumbled across this test that you may find interesting.

No problem, I have a SiCo Octane 45K and Sparrow 22 in jail now. After I get them back I might get one of the Resinators for the lighter weight but really don’t need another 30cal can.

What kind of wait times are you hearing of KRoyal? They told me 8-10 months today, seems about right I guess.

I submitted July 19th and called ATF last week and they have no ETA because of the shut down.

I have a Resonator and Omega 30; I’ve shot them side by side on bolt action 308 rifles and couldn’t tell any difference. They are both quiet and light. The ASR mount for the Omega makes it heavier. The Resonator is 1/2 the price so it’s the one I recommend.
