22 Hornet, best moderator?

I'm looking for a moderator for my .22 Hornet. I want something slim and streamlined. Will my ATEC Wave be up to the job or will the Hornet blow the baffles out? I've got a SAK on my .17HMR, will that do the job?
Do you have any other ideas?

I doubt the Sak is up to CF.
I use a Wildcat on mine.
I'm not impressed with my Atec on the .223, it's showing signs of gas cutting already. My brother's Atec on his .308 is in a poor old condition after not many rounds down the tube.

I’m guessing they are proper big boys moderators, not little ones like the ATEC Wave.

I think mine is an Atec H2, it's not done much, 300 rounds maybe .223.
Brothers is the same, and done maybe 70-80 factory .308, his baffles are shagged... I'd have been looking to have it replaced. The gunsmith/shop tidied it up on the lathe, I think... It's probably .50cal looking at it :rofl: I wouldn't recommend the brand...

I use an MAE Scout on a Hornet , had it years and it works on a my .223 also . Treat them nice and they last ( mind you i have one of the first Moderators to come into the UK " The T8 " and that's been used very regular ! But i clean and maintain my firearms . DO NOT USE A RIMFIREF MOD ON A CF Mod , it can be dangerous as unburned powder can build up inside the baffles and then explode !

Thank you, that’s exactly the sort of recommendation I was looking for. The MAE Scout is quite slimlined.
 
Nothing I've seen comes close to the concept of a slim and unobtrusive moderator that a .22 Hornet rifle deserves if to mitigate what will always be a carbuncle on a dear friend.
