"Loud" apparently increased by KDF
I called my buddy to confirm what he was shooting when he permanently damaged his hearing so badly during a hunt. It was a Weatherby .300 Magnum with a KDF recoil reducer on it. I think I have read elsewhere, perhaps in this forum, that recoil reducers amp up the noise. He likes the KDF because he says it makes the recoil feel like a .270. It sure is a shame that neither of the two paid guides, both of whom apparently had plugged their own ears, looked to see if he had his in so they could have motioned to him. It was a 430 yard shot, so it's not like he would scare off the animal, but it had turned broadside at the other side of the canyon and my excited buddy didn't want to miss the shot.
