Do yu need hearing protection with a suppressed elk rifle? There's an ad in Bugle magazine showing two hunters with hearing protection and a suppressed rifle. I thought hearing was the argument for hunting with a suppressed rifle. Why, exactly, would a person need a suppressed elk rifle???

Dogshooter,
Thanks for posting the tree videos. I held a digital sound level meter up to your post to see if what you are claiming is correct. The blackout regestered 69Db. The .260 showed 68Db and the .300 came in at 71Db. So it looks like the .260 is the quietest. Wow.... just wow. That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. You held a digital meter up to a speaker and played a video to "see if I was correct?" You really are a special kind of stupid... You should hold that meter next to your ear and hit yourself over the head with a tack hammer.... let us know what it reads. LOL!!!!

If you are only firing one or two shots I'd say no hearing protection is needed. If you are spending the day at the range personally I'd wear ear pro even if it's suppressed.

I don't know anyone who hunts without electric ear muffs; elk or anything.

after 50 years of shooting, my .223's sounds like my .22lr's did when i was young. built in suppression.
and i would laugh to see a elk rifle with a can. i have killed a dozen or so elk and never heard the shot regardless of the round, length of barrel etc used. ymmv

Yes. But they're going overhead. Repeatedly. For hours.
With a can you are to the rear of the source and it's going forward. It's akin to shooting a squirrel with a 22LR. I guess I could run and get some plugs, but I'm not gay.

When did that happen? It's not April 1st, is it?

I read a recent post where you spoke of reading Bible versus in between shots to allow your barrel time to cool. I was thinking, okay no harm in that...but if you're above post is serious, keep reading that bible cause you NEED that kind of love.

Snake River Marksman,
A friend of mine has a coyote problem. He decided a .300 blackout firing sub-sonic would be the trick setup. It was too loud. He happened on a fantastic deal on a Ruger 6.5 Creed. Since it was threaded he stuck the 7" long can on it. He told me he can shoot accurately to 700 yards quietly!
From my reading about .300 blackouts they are near worthless even at 200 yards as far as small targets go. I am crushed since I recently took a new .223 to the 'smith to have a .300 blackout barrel installed. When I get it back I will reinstall the .223 barrel and sell the .300 barrel. The stupid is strong in that one
