Just curious about something, I've noticed that I can stand relatively close to somebody (25ft or so) who is shooting a #7.5 or #8 - 1 ⅛oz target load, without ear pro and not really be bothered by it, in fact many of us gather about 10ft behind the 27 yard line and carry on conversations and aren't hindered by the noise at all. But if you were shooting a 00bk load of the same 1 ⅛oz payload at the same velocity, it would have your ears ringing.
I understand why slugs would have exponentially higher Db or noise since I imagine it's the powder charge and it throwing a 1oz slug @1500-1600fps vs the 1250-1350 fps of shot/buckshot, but I've just noticed that all things being equal between target loads and buckshot, the buckshot is considerably noisier.
