20 years of unsuppressed .270 did its damage however the long strings on wallabies out in open were far worse than the one or three in the bush...is what I was meaning...still dont use ear protection duckshooting as cant hear birds approaching if wearing earmuffs.
my rifles are all bar one now suppressed....once every year I take suppressor off .270 to remind myself why I cart it around,but would take shot in bush without it happily on way up to tops if had suppressor off and in bag. the shot your mate fires from ever so slightly behind you (off to side out of firing line of course) is far far worse than any you fire yourself as nose comes directly to you instead of being directed away....now fit a loudener/muzzle brake and all bets are off..infact you can bugger off elsewhere,well away from me thankyou......two experiences with browning boss types years ago drilled that one home.
