HUCKLEBERRY

Recommended Firing Schedule

Published in the SAAMI Z299.6 format. A rating is a schedule, not an adjective. The HUCKLEBERRY’s schedule depends on which endcap is installed, so start by counting the dots on the brake — one dot is .22, two is .30, three is .36 — then read the table for that configuration. Count up, never down: a larger endcap on a smaller cartridge is always allowed.

● One Dot — .22 endcap

A note on the one-dot endcap. The .22 LR, .22 Mag, .17 WSM and 5.7×28 lines run on the aluminum endcap. The centerfire rows — .223 / 5.56 and the 6mm cartridges — need the 17-4 stainless one. Same dot count, two materials, and the manual shows you how to tell them apart.

●● Two Dots — .30 endcap

●●● Three Dots — .36 endcap

What “cool” means. A temperature, not a wait time. Point an infrared thermometer at the outside of the silencer, and when it reads 150 °F or less, go again. How long that takes depends on the day. Swapping an endcap is different — that one has to be cool enough to get your hands on, and the manual walks you through it.

Shooting something we didn’t list? If it’s the same bore size or smaller than a cartridge in the table for your endcap and it carries less energy, you can run it at that row’s numbers. If nothing in the table covers it, you’re outside the schedule — give us a call and ask.

What if you go past it? Nothing in these tables is a cliff. There’s no round count where the silencer stops being safe, and we’re not going to pretend there is. These are simply the numbers we’ll stand behind. Run well past them and break something, and that damage isn’t covered — and we work that out by looking at the silencer, not by asking you what you were doing with it.

The rest of it — the full schedule, which endcap goes with what, how to cool it, what to look for — is in the owner’s manual.
