Episode 160 - Rugged Razor762, Subsonic 300 BLK, and Flow-Through (26-APR-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.108 – Rugged Razor762 with subsonic 300 BLK! This is the technical discussion of the article published last week. (00:11:10)

  2. Research Supplement 6.109 – The Quietest 300 BLK Subsonic Ammunition. Discreet Ballistics vs. S&B. This one is for PEW Science Members. Let’s talk about why this information may be important for you, in general, regardless of ammo brand. (00:59:28)

  3. Flow-Through technology. Let’s talk about the actual technology, resulting sound signatures, and your expectations. Do you understand the PEW Science Suppression Rating? Do you understand what “loud” means? Let’s go back to the basics of this important topic. (01:07:25)

  4. The support for PEW Science is significant. An open letter to consumers and industry was written by me, and has remained on the website as Section 1 of the Standard, since launch. The Standard remains as it was written. This is purposeful. (01:23:26)
