Everyone using 30 cal moderators, does yours make enough of a difference? I’ve got an aea 30, 32” and it’s LOUD!! I’ve got it tuned to shoot 140-160+ fpe depending on slug gr. I’d like to get one but seeing as I plan to use the gun for hunting vs plinking, if it doesn’t make enough difference I may not. Definitely let me know your experience. Thank you.

It will always be loud if your projectile is traveling over 1125. I like to keep mine around 1000 or below for best results. If you want to keep the power just get a heavier bullet to slow it down.

Yeah, none of what i'm using is going past 1100. 61.5 i have right around 1000 and the 90's go about 870. I just don't know if buying a moderator would do much, if any.

I can't speak to a specific moderator BUT I've seen 9mm pistols suppressed subsonic which were as quiet as ANY subsonic air rifle I have ever seen (I could hear the firing pin drop). You find the right suppressor and keep the thing subsonic and you can get an unbelievable level of suppression.

I haven’t got a 30 cal but it helps a ton on my 22 and 25. From all the videos I’ve watched it helps on the 357. That’s my next purchase

My 30 Cal Challenger pro is pretty well quieted down by a Ronin, but your 32" Challenger is probably louder to begin with.

Where does the fatboy rank in all of the moderators? Is it on part with the ronin and like or not?

I've only used Donny's "FX" and "Ronin" models, couldn't tell you. The little "FX" works really well on my Guantlet 30 and previously on an AEA Terminator 30 though.
