Wayne, I know just what you mean. We have a gun shop outdoor range not far from us with standing stalls for pistol (7 and 15 yds) and benches for rifles at 50 and 100.

I wouldn't even shoot my 300win there. It's just poor form - (the percussion noise). I only shoot it at the training center range I belong to. I do shoot it at the 100 - 300 yd range while sighting in as well as the 500 - 1000 yd range, but even there, I'm never the only one shooting a high-power magnum.

When I first got the scope mounted, I took it a few times to the empty, or near empty, state 100 yd sight-in range - a real jewel in this county. (But that range is set up real nice - roof, walled bays, openings with overhangs - and side blast is never an issue - just noise).

But it seems regularly, at this gun shop range, someone is shooting a 50cal or a high-power magnum. Even when using the pistol range 20 yds away, I find it so annoying I want to pack up.
