Sound Signature Review 6.211 – Dillon DRC308 on the 14.5-in SR-25. Kicking off the SR-25 research progression, the larger brother of the previously evaluated DRC556 is put through its paces on this challenging host. In this introduction to today’s report publication, we’ll talk about the general performance and what we may expect going forward with semiauto 7.62 NATO testing, in general. Can the Dillon tame the beast? (00:25:16) 3. Hazard Map Brief 8.1.8 - Dillon DRC308 on the SR-25 7.62x51mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic Rifle. Boy oh boy. When viewed spatially, how hazardous is the blast overpressure field from a suppressed 7.62 NATO system compared with a 5.56 NATO system? Big brother is here to show you why 7.62 is a different animal. Treat it with respect. (00:36:43) 4. Hunting medium size game with 300 BLK? A lot of you do. I am happy to report that I finally tried it, and it was successful. I’ll give you some of my initial thoughts on using the 6.75-in Sig MCX Rattler LT (LVAW analog) to take whitetail deer and what I would do differently next time, some pros, cons, etc. (00:43:23) Sponsored by - Silencer Shop, Top Gun Range Houston, Legion Athletics, Capitol Armory, and the PEW Science Laboratory!
