Just FYI

[txhoghunter73]

A .223 with a muzzle break will kinda make the ears tingle if you forget ear pro. But a .308 is PAINFULL when the ear pro is forgotten. Trust me

My 22-250 get loud too w/ a break but it sure is deadly

[RR 314]

Try a .30-378. Ooooof. I made that mistake ONCE!

[Saltgrass Mikerr]

thanks. I'll keep that info in mind next time I load er up

[AgBass01]

A .270 shot indoors with no ears made my ear ring for 2 days.

Just because I'm tired of seeing people shoot without ear pro (my friend just got tinnitus from a single shot with his 300 WM), here's some info:

Instantaneous hearing damage occurs at 140 decibels and higher. Most pistols, rifles and shotguns are in the 150-160 dB range. PLEASE WEAR EAR PRO!

Those Howard Leight Impact Sport earmuffs can be had on Amazon for $40 tyd. That inexpensive good protection. Of course you do have to remember to take them with you. Lol

Thanks for warning them, you beat me to it. It only takes one time and the damage is for life, as I can attest.

That was the issue. Usually I have em in my acs-l. But when I hunted last I guess I lost em

I've done it twice. Hard headed and now 1/2 deaf

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Texas89]

Used to be a tough guy I don't need ear pro. After getting tinnitus I wear plugs when I do anything. One ear is bad enough I can't imagine both

Pardon me...What did you say? I couldn't hear you

Simple, very important advice about ear protection and shooting.
Lets hope the supressors come off the list and become as simple as filling out a 4473.

[doole44]

Try a T/C 223 10" barrel....

300 win mag with a Holland break. I would pull my left ear plug out after the shot so I could hear the steel ring at long range. I forgot to put it back in before the next shot. Now I have Peltor and Howard Leight to help hear the ding.
