The rifle tends to get you invited back to hunt more critters on their farm because you aren't shooting the loud 22-250's and such.
So when it comes to noise level. How would you compare the 17 caliber Hornet or even the 19 caliber Hornet to the actual 22 Hornet?? Is there a noticable difference between the three in noise levels?? Thanks, Tom.

I shoot a 17 A/H with an Astra Ultra can on with 20gr bullets at 3,875ft/sec alomgside my mates 22Hornet with a T4 on and 45gr Win factory rounds at 2,570ft/sec from behind the scope they sound the same but if i am standing down range to call out adjustments to scopes the 22Hornet is a lot louder but both have different cans on ???
