    Noise is so important. But it is not heard when hunting. Strange as heck but one shot on the range without muffs will drive you nuts but a shot at a deer is never heard.
    I wish silencers were allowed without paying big bucks. Every gun should have them and they should be sold in every store but it is the liberal thing. Like a bayonet on a rifle is more deadly then the bullet. Even the lug for one is deadly and the appearance of a gun takes it into an assault rifle. Liberal junk!
    A SAA is fine but tweak it into a Buck Rogers gun and it is wrong. Stick a knife on the front and go to jail.
    A gun that makes noise and wakes the whole neighborhood is fine but a quiet gun is not legal.
    You get a ticket for a loud muffler.

    Stay with book loads, never take it upon yourself to reduce loads.
    Change powders for light loads but only by the book.
    You flirt with danger reducing loads by yourself. I fear for your kids.
    I want to SCREAM at you and shake you like a rag.
    STOP RIGHT NOW!
    I agree, being a licensed powder monkey with LIUNA for years, no powder will detonate, it may burn at an unusual fast speed thou.
