As far as the durability talk, I'm curious who on here has run cans hard. By hard, I mean either well over 20K plus rounds through one can from a really short SBR, or 400+ rounds sustained fire through a suppressor on multiple occasions. I've said it many times before, but any good quality modern centerfire can is going to be far more durable than anyone out there really needs. If anyone really wants to try mad science experiments, bring over a dozen 240 barrels and a whole lot of linked ammo. I'll happily supply the 240 and a few cans to see how they hold up.
The worst non-intentional (and somewhat rapidly occurring, under 500 rounds) damage, I've seen to a suppressor was from someone using a 28 Nosler with a fairly short barrel through an 762SD. It caused some fairly quick baffle erosion, but even that wasn't anything that would degrade the can's performance. Just visual wear. But again--- the can isn't rated for that caliber. In fact, a Harvester with 28 Nosler seems to hold up just fine.
