I am diligent with protection but notice even with plugs and muffs the bigger the boom the more gets through. From what I read these 22 wmr are viciously loud. I have tinnitus and am very careful about exposure to loud noise.
I'm finding various db numbers but magnum seems to run in the 150 range and shorts about 110. Does this sound right? If so, wouldn't this be easier on the ears?
