[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1664094, member: 2736"] Another weird-sounding round (from a distance) is my .300 Ackley. I have no idea why, but it's like it's only just a few wavelengths different in sound from a standard .30 magnum like the .300WM or .300 RUM, but when you hear it, you KNOW it's something different. It's hard to explain. Pretty crazy stuff.[/QUOTE] Well I guess I'm not crazy. I have been around firearms all my life and Hunted with large groups of Hunters. There have been times that I heard a shot and when getting back to camp no one would admit they shot. I knew what everyone was shooting and had a good idea who shot, so I would get the guilty party aside and ask him If he wanted to go look for his game. at first denial was the name of the game, but when I would tell them that I recognized the report of his rifle by it's sound, I could tell he wanted to confess. I found many downed animals that would never been retrieved otherwise. Many firearms have their own distinct sound and can be differentiated one from the other. Some cant be identified to the exact cartridge. but will fall in to a category of their own and the guess is very close. Its nice to know that others can hear this difference, and recognize a certain cartridge by it's sound. I guess I'm not crazy after all. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
