Shot my first rifle suppressors for the first time yesterday. To say the least I am very impressed! I have never been around anyone that has ever shot one, and really did not know what to expect. I shot my 300prc first and wow it sounded like a 22 going off. Then I got out my 338-378 and I thought to myself there is no way this is going to be quiet. It's normally 2 sets of ear protection. But again I was very surprised when it too sounded about like a 22. My hearing is not so good now from shooting my whole life but now I am going to have all my rifles threaded and my hearing shouldn't get any worse. Thank goodness..... Unbelievable. Thanks banish!!
