Do yu need hearing protection with a suppressed elk rifle? The answer is still no. answer may be no but you won't have a very effective elk rifle if you shoot subsonic ammo.

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. For the money you spend on a high end suppressor, you could get a decent set of digital ear plugs that will essentially do the same thing as the can without sending in your genetic code to the BATFE, having something hanging off your barrel and all the other hassles of owning one.

A friend has a 300bo. When he has subsonic loads and his suppressor screwed on it is problably more quiet than a pellet gun. My 6br with my suppressor is pretty good but you still get the crack. ED K

Wow, nothing surprising from ringmans comment though, always thought Barnum and baileys rings to be funny anyway...

Ringman.... good to see you reclaim your crown as the biggest dipschitt on the fire. For a while there I was thinking Stickbow and Trystan were vying for a run at the title.... way to reassert our idiotic dominance.
.300 Blackout, 208 Amax at 1000fps.... quiet as hell...

Full house .260 loads.... through the same can. As you can tell.... it's much louder, though still quiet enough to shoot sans plugs.

Suppressed "elk rifle".... .300 WSM full house 180 loads... same can again...

Anyone ever pull pit duty pulling targets? Don't even think you can do it without hearing protection. When the bullets hits the butts, there is the other end of the sound barrier crack.

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. Clark

I think that the suppression of questions about rifles is a very serious problem. We need to be constantly vigilant about such intrusion by the government. Where is the NRA?

So when shooting a rifle, you don't hear the crack of the sound barrier breaking? Go have another drink.

ED K True. One problem loading for the .300 Whisper is running close to the speed of sound without going over. You hear the crack when you're over by just a few fps. That round, subsonic, gets pretty weak past a hundred yds. With the 220 gr. bullet, at a hundred it's about like a .45 ACP point blank. So, it kills but falls off pretty fast. Supersonic suppressed is still noisy. From what I've heard, suppressed supersonic tends to make it harder to tell where the shot came from, but not all that quiet. DF

ringy, the 6.5 is WAY louder than a subsonic blackout. No matter what BS line your 'friend' feeds you.... I love this kind of answer. You are using one of the same tools I use at times: Ignorant prejudice. Maybe you didn't get the part about the suppressor. Or have you actually done a comparison and you're posting from empirical data?

Used one for the whole hunt in Africa on 7 mag. loved it other than the extra length, made a 7 sound bout like a 22 mag. Also seems to slow the forward motion of the sound as well, animals are seldom spooked quick enough, in case a second shot is needed!!

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 th_e .260 is the quietest.

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.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
