Hi Fellas,
Just wondered what the perception was of 44mag noise in a carbine or rifle vs high powere rifles with normal length barrels. My own take is pistol calibres have less blast than high powered rifles, this from using a 357 lever a lot. I consider my old 357 rossi quieter than the 30-30 and even some 223 setups.
Was wondering how the 44 mag stacks up. Obviously more powder there. But out of a reasonable length carbine( say 20") would you still say its quieter than
308win in standard length barrel
30-30 in similar lever?
12ga shotgun with 3" shells?
Im assuming a 223 will run quieter though?
When I say quieter both to the firer but also onlookers. Not meant to be an exacting debate, this was just an interesting discussion that came up around a campfire and part of it related to those of us who may have dogs with us. Some fellas do appears to perceive noise differently.
