Kiwi:
Mine have been ringing since I was 15. Three of us were in a '50 Ford p/up chasing coyotes across the prairie. I was in the middle, guy on the right had his '06 muzzle up and set it off, windows closed. Blew out the back glass, hitting the window frame at the top. Both of us had powder burns on our faces but, no one was hit. Hell of a price to pay for some a/h's stupidity! I've been a radical SOB since about: "muzzle DOWN" or you can walk!" Whole lot easier to survive without a foot than it is without a head!

I can only say that the one fortunate thing about the UK is that moderators are not only available but positively encouraged by the licensing authorities.
With that in mind my 'moderated' 17hh is a slight bit quieter than my moderated 17hmr. That's because I use a caliber specific full bore rifle moderator. It's a shame you guys can't get mods that easily. The 17hh is fantastic when moderated at night, just a sharp hand-clap report and rabbits tend to sit there unaware of the direction it came from. |

We got these allowed (as, I think, did the Norwegians) by extolling the health and safety benefits of moderators and how much would be saved to the authorities by not having a mostly deafened shooting community.

My new 22 squirrel is really quiet, it is by far the quietest non suppressed centerfire I have ever shot. It makes it a lot of fun to shoot. I'm liking more than my 17 squirrel.

Not to totally derail this thread but just came across this on another forum which I find interesting...

A large percentage of people over here would just point out that hearing damage is yet another good reason for gun control I fear, to them it's "any port in a storm"!
