Thanks guys, I don't need "backyard" but I do like quiet. After my pcp's, and .22lr and 300blk suppressed its hard to shoot anything too loud and enjoy it.

Western Airguns Rattler 357 and 45

I had watched his video too before I got my Rattler, I thought I had a performance problem because I only have 820 fps with 150 grains and 160-bar regulator
After reading the forum I understood that there was a lie somewhere.

I asked the neighbors that I do like what it sounds like since I shoot a few hundred rounds a day into steel - they all told me they just think I'm banging pots and pans, and what the fck is wrong with me I'm banging pots and pans all day

i run my rattler at 190bar and about 23 clicks on the power wheel. it cracks at 117dB 270FPE its really loud if its not properly tuned it was around 122dB. i also drilled around 90, 1mm holes in the shroud and suppressor

@caliusoptimus What type of shroud did you put on that Rattler? Or is that just how it looks with the factory moderator removed?

Yep. I have a 36" 1-20" twist and the stock 28" 1-26" twist. The setup is the same aside from the length of the tube.
This is the stock barrel.

@caliusoptimus What benefit(s) are you noticing since switching from the stock barrel to the one described above?

Mo powa! Up to 310fpe vs 270fpe with the stock barrel. Maybe more... I haven't tempted fate by going over 180bar. Accuracy is the same.

At first I didn't have one. Just got a few blanks in both twist rates to see what happens. Now that I've played with it a bunch, I don't think the rattler needs a 20 twist. The 26 has stabilized every slug I've tried.
One of my other projects slings 357 slugs over 350fpe... and my long boat tail slugs absolutely need 1-20 twist to stabilize at those speeds.
