I don’t tolerate muzzleblast very well due to damaged hearing. I remember reading some military rifle boards preferred long barrels to reduce muzzle blast. Have any of you gravitated towards long barreled mild cartridge rifles?
Long barrels aren't going to cut it my friend. Cans, electronic hearing protection, or regular ear pro you put in before the shot. Protect what you have left. A pair of Howard Leights will set you back maybe $50. You'll hear way more in the woods than you can now and save your ears at the same time.
