It's all about the same. 44 mag would be in the neighborhood of the 41.

Absolutely disagree. The bullets deflect off wood, particularly slow moving large caliber bullets. And every club I've ever shot at, including the one I'm currently a member of, has a berm backstop that from the side, looks like an equalateral triangle.
Good prices posted, but they mean nothing.
I remember paying 25 cents for a pack of Winstons.
If you want a real price, go to gunbroker and check the sold prices for the gun.
I'm just about to pull the trigger on a Ruger mini 30 tactical for ~$660. It's new and has been improved over the old minis (of which I owned three).
Plus Ruger is now selling 20 round factory mags to the public.
Yeah, I think I saw that movie. It was called "The Young Savages" with Burt Lancaster.
And as others have noted, the OP observed a single occurance of this. That doesn't make it a "trend."
I don't have all the data but you can extrapolate the results.
.380 157.7 dB.
9mm 159.8 dB.
.38 S&W 153.5 dB.
.38 Spl 156.3 dB.
.357 Magnum 164.3 dB.
.41 Magnum 163.2 dB.
.44 Spl 155.9 dB.
.45 ACP 157.0 dB.
.45 COLT 154.7 dB.
Re your concern about hearing damage, it's...
Not so.
Facts on noise levels:
1. Decibels measure sound pressure and are logarithmic. That means that only a 3db increase almost doubles sound pressure, a 6db increase quadruples sound pressure, etc.
2. Gradual hearing loss may occur after prolonged exposure to 90 decibels or above.

Welcome to the People's Republic of California. Everything is more expensive. Even if your friend has the gun shipped in, kal dealers often make up for lost revenue by charging huge transfer fees. Then you've got the DROS fee.
Like the M1A? Screws onto the side?
And they're advertising that it has a heavier barrel which should reduce barrel whip.
Is the mini 30 tactical any better than the ranch?
