[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1800453, member: 94491"] With subsonic ammo I assume--- I've not seen any suppressed rifles shooting supersonic ammo that gets near hearing safe...that's what gets me, people think suppressors make their rifles hearing safe , very few do so...they will find out in 10 years or so that suppressors dont replace hearing protection. Most suppressors cut the db by around 30, supersonic ammo in a rifle runs around 160 or more db....if you are lucky you might get supersonic ammo down into the 120 range but that's about it [URL]https://www.silencercentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Silencer_Sound_Comparsion_chart.pdf[/URL] osha requires hearing protection when sustained levels reach 85db--now those cci quiet ammo are listed as 68 db (from a rifle) so those are ok [/QUOTE]
