Did your turn up your volume to 11?

I doubt that our PC sound system could reproduce the sound levels required. I couldn't find a .303 but power wise it's within cooee of a .308

Dr. Krammer continues to say that shotgun noise averaged slightly more that 150dB. This is approximately 14dB beyond the threshold of pain, and more than sufficient to cause sudden hearing loss with complications.

Table 2. CENTERFIRE RIFLE DATA


.223, 55GR. Commercial load 18 _" barrel 155.5dB
.243 in 22" barrel 155.9dB
.30-30 in 20" barrel 156.0dB
7mm Magnum in 20" barrel 157.5dB
.308 in 24" barrel 156.2dB
.30-06 in 24" barrel 158.5dB
.30-06 in 18 _" barrel 163.2dB
.375 — 18" barrel with muzzle brake 170 dB

150+ decibals is fairly loud. luckly the closest Browning is several metres from the cockpit of the plane.

My ears are still ringing from my youth when only wimps wore ear protection!

Cheers!
