Inconel vs Titanium for a 30 cal Supressor
Posted on 7/2/25 at 8:39 am
Posted on 7/2/25 at 8:39 am
I’m debating between the 2. The can will be used primarily on a bolt 308. Titanium is 14 ounces. The inconel is 24 ounces. I’m leaning towards the inconel. It is obviously heavy but my thoughts are it will help with recoil for my 2 boys that will be hunting in the next few years. It’s also pretty much an indestructible metal. The gun I’m putting it on weighs 6 pounds without a scope. Same can, just different metal. Thoughts?

There will be a noticeable difference with the 10 extra ounces hanging off the end of the barrel versus adding weight to the stock (if you want more weight for reduced recoil). Another option would be a suppressor with an integrated muzzle brake. Several companies now make them.

I’d go titanium for a bolt gun. I went inconel for my JL strictly so I wouldn’t be concerned with my fire schedule in my AR’s. It’s a brick, but the weight doesn’t bother me at all. A kid would be a different story. I don’t even notice my titanium MOB if i put it on my 300blk for comparison.

I have a titanium can on my .308 bolt gun. Adding it helped with recoil in my opinion even with it being lighter so either one honestly should help. At 10 oz difference it's a little over 1/2 a pound and IMO won't materially differ with either. I don't have any concerns about it's durability either.
One thing I would consider is how much will you be shooting through the gun. With the titanium it does heat up quicker, so when I go to the range about 7-10 shots in a short period I will start getting suppressor mirage in the scope. It cools down faster but something to keep in mind. I think inconel takes longer to heat up/cool down. If it's primarily 5 shots or under in a string though not really an issue.

This will be a JL as well. The titanium has a firing schedule of 30 rounds per minute. I do intend to get a 300 black out or AR10 at some point for hogs, so I guess the titanium would be sufficient. I think I’m going to go with their spooky mount. Which mount do you have.

I have the Spooky2 A2 ( the brake). If you want one, snag one while you can from Piece of Mind (pomg.com). They are rarely in stock but they got some yesterday.

I have a titanium .308 suppressor and it's perfect.
The additional 10oz in weight when toting the gun will be more of a burden than the minimal recoil reduction it'll offer

It comes with the spooky 1. The 2 is the better option?

I've got a titanium used mostly on my 300blk. Honestly, I'm not ever emptying mags to the point that it's an issue. Even at the range having fun. Ammo is too expensive for that to become an issue.
For youth, the suppressor itself will help with recoil. I think weight on the end of the barrel would be harder to deal with than more recoil. Can always add weight other ways closer to a balance point.

Go titanium for sure on the bolt and even if you end up putting on ar10. Your firing schedule on those applications will never get close to the temp limit.
As for recoil I think the suppressor will do enough mitigation on its own that the j crease in weight for recoils sake isn’t worth it.
My 556 can I did go inconnel tho

Pulled the trigger on titanium. I have been waffling for a few months now. I appreciate all the feedback. The board delivers again.

I had always read (back when researching for my first suppressor) that a brake will act like a “sacrificial” baffle to help blast baffle longevity. Could be snake oil, but I’ve always got brakes for my hosts because of reading that. If you get the HUB version you can go with any system you want. If you get the QD, you are stuck with CAT muzzle devices or ones that meet their specs from other manufacturers like Rearden.

It’s an outstanding can, you won’t be disappointed. It’s stupid quiet with 300BLK subs especially. Also does surprisingly well with 5.56.

So 1.5 lbs added to the end of a 6 lb rifle.

I saw you got the TI.
1st: Thank you for getting a silencer for your boys. I wish they were as easy to come by when I was a kid. I probably wouldn't have the ringing in my ears that I do now. A silencer is one of the best things you can do for kids that grow up hunting.
As to material. 6 lbs gun, 1 lbs scope with another 10oz on the front of it gun will help with recoil. The .308 won't be bad.
But, I am a big proponent of more weight makes a more accurate rifle.
But either way, you won't go wrong and you will love that silencer.
I have a TI White Bread on my thermal AR. I was looking to save weight and wasn't worried about sustained fire with it. I have other guns if that is ever an issue with other silencers.

My priorities with cans are tone and weight. On a 30cal its going to be loud even with the can, what you want is a nice deep tone that will blend into the natural sounds and not a high pitched ping, even if the higher pitch meters better. When hooking to the front of machine guns, the best sounding cans were big, old design, heavy cans with wipes or eyelets, rivets, something physical to slow things down inside the can. Plastic cans actually sound phenomenal, and are super light weight, but unfortunately our country wiped its arse with the constitution for the past 137 years so it isn't practical to have disposable silencers.

If it's. A bolt action there's absolutely no reason to use inconel. 1lb of difference is gigantic on a rifle.

Money being no object. Always shed weight.

I have a titanium suppressor on my AR. It will spark.

I think you made a good decision. While the suppressor will decrease the recoil noticeably, it the recoil is still too much for your kids, just switch to reduced recoil ammo.
