Because if you've ever shot suppressed you'd know where I'm coming from.
I have tinnitus from shooting M240s in the military. It's bad enough that even with earpro shooting a braked rifle gives me severe headaches.
If you've spent much time hunting you'd understand that earpro is tough to get to in most scenarios that don't involve wide open country.
Again the 200 fps loss in velocity is such a miniscule factor with modern high bc bullets that it's not worth worrying about unless you're killing stuff way the heck out there.
Here's an example:
A 225 eldm at 2700 fps reaches 900 yards maintaining 1800 fps impact velocity.
Speed it up to 2900 FPS and you'll get to 1075 yards with the same impact velocity.
Standard velocity loss is 25 fps per inch BTW
