That’s about 0.4 grains of residue/carbon per shot, or about 1% of a .308 powder load by mass. Closer to 2% for a supersonic .300BO. Seems a little high but not inconceivable. Lots of surface area and sharp corners in the can to collect build-up.

Here are my jail-broken can's. I don't have exact round counts but I can estimate. All the 556 cans get used very roughly.
 AAC M4-2000. My oldest can, 10k+ rounds and lots of high volume shooting. I haven't shot it in awhile, i've never noticed the silverish color on the blast baffles before.  AAC Mini-4. 5k - 10k rounds and a lots of high volume shooting.  Surefire Soccom: 10k+ rounds, used with 3P's, 4P's, CT's, warcomps. The grooves cut in the blast baffle look deeper in person to me; this picture makes them look not to bad.  SAS Barricade: 500ish 6.5cm rounds on a precision rifle with a muzzle brake. Light use for a can and there is no visible wear, just lots of copper residue.  Surefire 7.62 Mini: around 2k rounds mixed between 308 and 300blk with CT flash hiders and muzzle brakes.  |

Awesome thread, keep it up!
Does anyone have any particular pics or experience with 17-4 SS baffles (radials ideally) on short (10.5"-11.5") 5.56/.223 guns running "carbine course" firing schedules? What does wear look like? Flash hiders or muzzle breaks, please just specify! |

Posted: 6/16/2020 11:51:24 PM EST

17-4 wears a lot like 718 inconel. It’s only prone to wear over ~1150f. All suppressor metal is getting soft between 1100 and 1300f. 6AL4V titanium begins to erode badly over 900, and melts and starts on fire somewhere in the 1150-1350f range. 625 inconel isn’t substantially hard at room temperature so it is moderately subject to wear even at lower temperatures. 300series stainless is softer yet and it really doesn’t belong in any hard use suppressor baffle.
We have used all of the above materials in production or R&D products at one time or another and I’ve seen them all run hard to see how they compare. Geometry and baffle proximity to the muzzle also plays a role in durability or lack thereof. There is little or no practical reason to run rifles that hard. Getting to 1150 is like 5 30 round mags of full auto fire. At 1150f 556 cans are dropping ~400f of heat per minute, or enough to shoot about 20 rounds a minute sustained. |

YHM Phantom QD 556. I've owned this new since Mar 09. This can has had a mix of 223/5.56/22lr, through 20", 16", 14.5", 10.5" and has only been run FA a handful of times. I honestly cannot fathom how many rounds I've put through this, but on a conservative side I would say 75k+ easily as I am at the range at least once a week, some times 2 or 3 and I always have the can on one of my AR's I take.

 Turbo at something like 5k rounds, all through brakes and 80% on a 10" SBR. Can keeps doing it's thing but has picked up about 2oz of weight  I've recently been shooting handloads with Ramshot TAC and it's imparting a visible red "stain" on the brake and the blast baffle. Not something I'm worried about, but interesting to note. |

Turbo K with somewhere around 2k rounds all on a 10.5" with a modified muzzle device. I cut the brake off to save a bit of weight and when I do fire the gun unsuppressed its not as obnoxious. Also using a kurz adapter. This will give a "direct thread" approximation.
The blast baffle is fine, and so is the first main baffle. The second baffle has all the erosion, which is odd.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |
