It went 3 for 3 this weekend, and I'm going to try some stuff with it this year. Stay tuned.
Would never do a .22PPC. A 6PPC, maybe, but never a .22. What barrel length? Got a picture!  I am in "partial hearing loss camp" right now and am looking at 30-30's all of a sudden.

Loss starts with higher frequencies (reason why you can't hear soft femine voices-- like your wife's) any more. For some reason I get the impression you're suggesting this is a negative?

Don't forget the 250 Savage - accurate, quiet and effective (for deer sized game).

Everyone knows the 2 inch 357 Magnum with H110 and the Ruger Blackhawk in 30 Carbine are the best to use without hearing protection. Huh what did you say?

I've wondered about the 6.8spc in a bolt gun with a 22" bbl. rather than the 16" of the Ruger Compact. Caliber looks interesting for a mild shooting gun.

I have the AR with 18 inch in 6.8 with the Vortex Flash Hider and it isn't all that bad. I would assume the 700 with 22 inch barrel would be better noise wise. If velocity is your major goal the 6.8 seems to do it best in the 16 to 18 inch platform with very little gain with the longer barrel.

I think we are going about this the wrong way. We should ban together and force the NRA to lobby for legislation against mumbling.

A little reading from Noisehelp.com * At 91 decibels, your ears can tolerate up to two hours of exposure.
* At 100 decibels, damage can occur with 15 minutes of exposure.
* At 112 decibels, damage can occur with only one minute of exposure.
* At 140 decibels, immediate nerve damage can occur.
Firearms, firecrackers, and jet engines taking off are all louder than 140 dB. If you find yourself near any of these without hearing protection, use your fingers and plug your ears! And at the same time, move away from the noise � even a few extra feet can reduce the loudness significantly.
and Measuring Recreational Firearm Noise Basically, unsuppressed firearms are not hearing safe. Pmc
