Hi, I'd like to know what do you guys think the ideal noise range of the 300wm is,
open field, moderate wind, no muzzle break... how far can the rifle be heard ?
thanks !
 
It, like most magnums can be heard for miles away echoing through the atmosphere.

Just out of curiosity....Why do you ask?

Thanks for the reply, I found this BLM land I can legally shoot in but I don't want to bother or even have to worry about bothering the private lands around it.
 
I'm unfamiliar with BLM land? Is that like a state wildlife management area?

Also, it won't matter if you disturb any other land or not, IMO, noise is just noise. However, you crack off a large magnum rifle and people around you are gonna know it. :D

I've been told that my A-Bolt 7Mag w/ BOSS, Accumark .257 Wby, and my Sendero 7mmSTW sound like Howitzers going off in the woods, by my buddies. LOL Those are my 3 main hunting rifles, and apparantly they are loud...:cool:

I hunt and shoot on BLM, BIA ans State owned ground. Shooting spot less than 100 yards from next door neighbor. Not a problem.

If BLM ground is remote the problem is less.
 
I wouldnt worry about it as long as you are legal distance away from any paved roads or houses
