I'm planning on another suppressor soon and my question is this.

Is there much of a sound difference shooting .223 through a 30 cal suppressor vs. a .223 suppressor?

Several people tell me to get the 30cal and use it for both and several people tell me its best to get dedicated cans. FWIW the .223s are my ARs and I'm planning a .308 bolt gun. Obviously I'd rather get one suppressor but I mainly shoot .223, in fact I dont even own a .308 yet. I wanted to get the paper work done and get the gun while I wait.

Thanks
Steve
