From a heavy barrelled rifle you'll be surprised at how quiet they will be. If it's a tapered "pencil" barrel they'll still be quiet but not as quiet as a heavy "bull" barrel.
I've shot some .22shorts and CB cap load from my heavy barrel BSA martini rifle. The shorts were quiet enough that there simply isn't a need for hearing protection even indoors. The CB's were so quiet that it was literally the case where the snap of the firing pin was louder and the "thwap" of the little conical hitting the paper and foam backer was heard separately.
You really have to explain something to me. If the barrel is the same Leigh, how does the contour of a barrel affect the sound?
