IME shooting 6.5CM and 308 supressed you will observe a slight decrease in consistiency. (Notice im not saying "loose accuracy"). I have the Sig 7.62 SRD Ti direct mount and i dont observe any measurable decrease in accuracy. I do notice what seems to be a more frequent stray shot that i didnt call. Seems i get more frequent strays in the cold months . I start seeing these fliers more identifiable at 600 yds. Maybe its just me, but just throwing this out there.
