when it comes to recreational shooting and such...
I've shot the .500 and many of the other big bores, but honestly, when I think of the LOUDEST I've ever fired or been around, a particular 30-06 that my friend's dad owns comes to mind, and also, I'd much rather be around or shoot a .500 than a .357! I LOVE shooting .357s, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to NOISE I think they are THE most unpleasant handgun in that department! Sure a .500 is LOUD but a .357 can give me a headache pretty quickly, something about the sharpness of that -CRACK-. I can shoot a .44 mag all day compared to a .357
Also, while we're on the topic, I never shoot without hearing protection, even .22lr. I happen to love music, and tinnitus SUCKS
