Im going to respectfully disagree here. While they are a decent can, there are many many more on the market that are much better IMO. My two favorites are the SWR Spectre and the Thunderbeast 22L-1 (Sealed Can) Ive shot the majority of .22 cans on the market. Each have their pros and cons, weight, length sound suppression, cleaning needs/cabibility, customer service, etc. As far as loading up a can goes, cans are typically the loudest directly after cleaning. The dirtier the get, typically the quieter they become; until a certain point that is. That point is usually well over 1500 rounds. Again, ammo type, suppressor host and baffle design have a lot do with this.
