What's the ammo that works best for you when you're running a can? There are some ammo that's dirtier than others. I know you're gonna have some blowback in the lower so I'm curios as to what brass ammo you use to minimize the residue.
What 556 Ammo Do You Use Suppressed

Subsonic 556 does not cycle an AR even with a can. Only way to get them to cycle is with REALLY heavy bullets but they are too long to fit in a mag so that defeats the purpose.
Now in a bolt gun .... a heavy 77 or 75 grain bullet with 4 to 5 grains of trailboss

Using the Specwar K on an AR so make sure it's brass and everything should escape the barrel or ejection port. I think the SiCo can has a minimal blowback if I'm not mistaken so hopefully most of it follows the projectile.
Steel case isn't going to harm anything, especially if you leave your muzzle brake or flash hider on.
That k is such a nice 556 can.
On 308 the heavier bullet (168gr or higher)loads tend to meter lower than the 150gr and lower, I'm not sure on 556 if that's the same but you'll be hearing safe regardless.
Also please bring the specwar k to the next metering session
OSHA says single impulse is 140 and that is what industry lingo means when you say it is hearing safe.
Suppressed guns get filthy. I can't say I've ever noticed a significant difference between ammo brands, because the gun is nasty no matter what. But I generally follow the "brass case only" rule.
