Handguns, shotguns, rifles...what's been the loudest for you? I've never shot much for handguns (Canadian-makes it much more difficult to enjoy those things and I just don't bother with them...yet). I've shot a .50 bmg before...that was very loud, but in a super deep way...the most painful thing to shoot without plugs for me is hands down my little Norinco jw2000, it's a side by side 12 guage with 12 inch barrels...put a 3 inch magnum goose round in there and your ears ring for days sometimes. The other contender for most being obnoxiously loud is a friends .220 Swift...is there something about that cartridge? I've shot .22-250 before and know its not much milder, but good grief that swift is such a sharp piercing crack! I find my .300 win mag more enjoyable to shoot, no joke! What's the hardest on your head?
