Whitester Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just wondered if anyone knew what I would need to buy to turn my 243 p8 mod into one I could use on a 223. it would be the exact same rifle so presuming just the diffuser?

Dougy Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 You could use the same one on both as it's 243. That's as long as both rifle threads are the same. I personally wouldn't over complicate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I use the same mod on both my tikka's a 243 and 223 with no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Someone will come along in a minute and tell you that it won't be that good on your 223. And I'll tell you they will be correct, but I bet they wont tell the difference down range unless they have ears like Spock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mod WILL work with both. Not sure about the baffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miki Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) The bigger the hole the more the expanding gasses will 'leak' past the round and the louder it will be. Smaller is better. The hole needs to have some clearance though, so that the bullet doesn't hit the moderator body on the way through ... Typically most manufacturers offer a 0.6mm radial clearance so the .243 round (@ 6.2mm) will have a 7.4mm bore. The .223 bullet is smaller (@ 5.7mm) so will pass through a .243 moderators bore no problem. Will it be louder ... ? The .223 will not be as loud as the .243 when they are fired through the same moderator, as they have less of a bang to start with. A 223 fired through a 6.5mm bore will be quieter than a 223 fired through a 7.5mm bore Can you add a 12 baffle stack ? ..... yes, as long as it is aligned with the bore of the barrel.. the more baffles/expansion chambers the better Edited January 4, 2018 by miki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
