TR, Yes I handload, and I have thought about (cautiously) working up a load using pistol powder. I know there has been great discussion on this practice to build subsonic loads for the 5.56 community when using cans but still enough back pressure/gas to operate the action. IYHO, do you think SUREFIRE is capable of handling this pressure and if so have you heard howmuch wear is "too much" before a rebuild/replace of a can is warranted? I am not going to use the SBR suppressed all the time but would like to have a "bench mark" going into it so that after many hours of making noise or at least reduced noise while drinking with the TS, I will know when enough is enough.....LOL.....
