    But I will ask you this
    how many times have we given a Roar/Roars - been sitting or knelling down - then gone to move and - CRASHHHH
    The bugger has snuck in (as the always do) and even given the fact I have actually good hearing still - havn't heard him even at 15m
    These muffs will - I am certain on that

    Blow flies are a bastard though - like b52 going past
    I will also be spending some time bush hunting with muffs on this year, with the 30-30 trapper. Mine are MSA sordins and I can hear deer chewing grass 50 odd metres away

    Anyway - enough on muffs - meant to be about rifles/guns to be used
    Sorry for sidetracking - as you were

    My trapper is my number one rifle for bush hunting. I have the muffs but haven't tried them hunting yet. I spooked 5 deer on my last hunt, maybe with the muffs I would have heard them first...
    Sierra 125gr HPFN for fallow, Hornady 170gr FN for reds, FTX for longer shots.

    42.5 grains of AR2208 is looking good at the range for me, I haven't worked out max load yet, and I'm yet to see how the ELD-X performs on deer.
