[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 1983442, member: 115070"] Cool flame war...... just like every other Internet forum. I don’t care if anyone wears hearing protection or not, but I lost a significant amount of high-frequency hearing in my left ear when I was 16 from a single event. I was shooting a .300 wby across the bed of a pickup and the sound apparently reflected back in a bad way. My ears rang nonstop for a couple weeks and I’ve lived mostly deaf in one ear ever since. Just because it hasn’t happened yet is not proof that it won’t happen to you. It gets easier to cause damage as you age too. Now I hunt with suppressors and can’t understand why this country can’t/won’t join the rest of the civilized world and legalize (and recommend their use) everywhere. Muzzle break? Nope, not for me, ever. I don’t like hunting with guys who use them. Use a smaller gun. The number of people who can actually shoot magnums well is way smaller than the number of people who [I]think[/I] they shoot them well. [/QUOTE]
