It's going to be a while before I can shoot a centerfire rifle (or any rifle), but I got some time with my shooting buddy's Ruger 22/45Light with a brand new can on it today.
I had no problems hitting the gong at 50yds. The gong seems loud when you don't need ear protection. Pop....BONG!
I'm not quite up to my .45 yet, but I'm not going to have to learn to do it all over again like last time they rebuilt my back. After a few weeks of PT I ought to be able to move my neck so I can sight a rifle again and at least shoot a .22. I'm quite happy with what I was able to do today though, one month after neck surgery.
As to the can, it was interesting but it sure gets dirty quickly and needs to be cleaned after every time it gets shot and at most after 500 shots through it. The gun gets wicked dirty really fast too. I wonder if the larger caliber cans are the same way? I know at least one of us shoots a suppressed .300Whisper/Blackout. Anybody shoot 9mm or .45 handguns with cans? What is your experience? Does the powder you use make a big difference?
