The BOSS system is hell on ears.  But, while practicing at the range you should be wearing haring protection anyways.  While hunting a single shot or two will hardly be noticed since your system will be able to shut it out, per say.

The nice thing about the BOSS system is you can "fine tune" the barrel to the ammo load you're shooting.  In theory, the barrel can be tuned to the ammo being used.  Those of us who reload our own ammo go about it from the other angle: we tune the ammo to the barrel.  But the biggest benefit of reloading our own ammo is the price.  Currently, .223 Rem/5.56 NATO is still over 50 cents a shot, I can reload it for less than 18 cents a shot and more typically less than 15 cents a shot when I play watch for clearance prices on bullets.

oh, and LONG LIVE THE USA!   :aok

Nice Flench.

I relocated to Germany in 2006 and left several pounds of powder, primers, brass, RCBS equipment, and a great reloading bench with my father, who at the time lived in Corinth Ms.  After a few years, circumstances changed and my dad and he asked if I would consider selling my reloading stuff to a cousin - I agreed.  The real reason was my dad no longer had the space to store it - I didn't have the means nor ways to send it to Germnay so I sold it all.  10 lbs IMR 4831, 4 lbs Hogden 1110, RCBS scales, dies, tumbler, trimming tool, all the works...  

I wish I had have thought this one through....

last month, saw some good deals through gunbroker.com. there are a lot of pawn shops with good prices on used guns.
