Every summer I buy another suppressor. Last year, I got my first rifle can (762-sdn-6). It generally sits on my .300 BLK SBR. I just ordered the last parts I need for my 5.56 SBR, and of course I want to suppress it. Question is, do I go for a dedicated 5.56 can, or do I get another .30 caliber can and use it on the 5.56? It seems that a .30 cal can does a very nice job of suppressing 5.56. Am I wrong in my thinking?
.30 suppressor vs. 5.56mm for 5.56

May I suggest get something light. i use my titanium can more than any other rifle suppressor I own.
You are correct, check this out: Comparison of AAC M4-2000, 762 SDN-6, and the SR7 with 5.56: https://youtu.be/b8dTzlDONHk
Since you've already got the SDN6, sticking with AAC makes sense to keep using the same 51T mounts. You're welcome to try out my M4-2000 and Mini4 on your hosts.

Silencerco Omega has pretty good suppression for both .30 cal and 5.56, it's pretty light too

You will experience more gas related issues with a 5.56 firing a 5.56 compared to a 5.56 through a 7.62.
Issues can range from gas to the face to pressure alspikes and reliability.
If you go 5.56 get the lightest suppressor you can, it's the only advantage I see in considering a 5.56 over a 7.62.

I think I may just get another .30 cal can. It is more versatile. All the parts for my 5.56 SBR should be in by next week. I'll have to get it out and shoot it. Ultimately, my goal is to have a dedicated suppressor for every AR.
This will be my first attempt at suppressing an AR. I went with the 30 cal (specwar) to also eventually use on my non existent bolt gun. Have you used your AAC on any of your AR's yet? How is the blowback?
Used it on a .300 BLK with supersonic ammo. No problems at all with gas.

I'm using an sdn762 on my 10.3" 5.56 ar. Worked extremely well Friday night at freestate. I've never had a 5.56 can on it though so I can't really compare

Tried out my "M4-style" 5.56 (14.5" barrel) this weekend with my 762 SDN-6. Cycled fine with M855 and was comfortably hearing safe (at least to my ears).
