Nicest Sounding Cartridge
Hi guys, i was just wonding which cartridge you all liked best...soundwise. Do you like a deep booming cartridge or a smaller quiet cartridge. Also, i'd be interested to know what the loudest/quietest cartridges you've heard are. And of course the guns from which they were fired.

I like the sound of a muzzleloader best or my 12 gauge going off at geese in the morning air, but as far as rifle i love my 8x57 when it booms in the woods!!!

The loudest ive heard is a 30-378 weatherby mag, thats just too loud[:@]
I like my 300 win mag deep boom and the thunder in the mountains afterwards!

RE: Nicest Sounding Cartridge
my loudest would be my .308 Norma Magnum, closely resembles a cannon. The quitest would have to be a .177 air gun, most twigs that snap in half make more noise. My favorite one, its a tossup between the boom of my 8mm or the thunder of my .308 norma. One cartridge i have a strong dislikency for is the .243 winchester....what a dud of a little gun, who would want one??

RE: Nicest Sounding Cartridge
Loudest and by far the most obnoxious gun Ive heard was a barrett m82a1 with cheap south african 647gr ammo(guess the guy couldnt afford to load for it after he sunk the 9 grand into it). It was a beast. The noise and concussion shook the ground, shook the roof over the firing line. My girlfriend was setting in the car 20 feet behind the shooting line and it shook the car!! A word of advise, do not stand in direct line with the ports of the muzzle brake. I knew that beforehand, but the ole boy that didn't sure got a wakeup call.
Interestingly, the BMG was a *****cat to shoot and because of the brake it was RELATIVELY quiet, concussion was still very obvious.
Nicest cartridge to shoot is a 44 special out of my SBH 6gr red dot 310 gr SWCGC.

I'm partial to the boom of a 45-70 loaded with blackpowder. Second choice is a muzzleloader. Quietest would have to be the .22 short or CB shot out of the ole single shot rolling block Stevens.

RE: Nicest Sounding Cartridge
the loudest i own would be my rem model 700 in 7mmSTW w/brake, everybody at the range likes to move down a few benches after one shot.
, i've shot air rifles that are louder/noisier than the cb's
the one i enjoy the most is my wifes model 7 in 260 rem, aahhh music to my ears
oh yea welcome to the forum
