It has been too long since I posted here, so here's something:
Everyone knows what steel challenge is? Right? Anyways it's a competition where shooters have few stages they need to shoot. The time is taken from every string & added in the end - fastest wins. Usually there are 5 targets that need to be shot. First 4 can be shot in free order but the last one - stop plate - needs to be shot last everytime. In this case I use .22lr to shoot everyones favourite stage: Smoke & hope
In competition it looks like this, but I only have poppers & mini popper.

From some other forum 
The Gospel According to John (Moses Browning, that is...)
1. In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was the pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, "Thou shalt not muck about with my disciple John's design, for it is good and it worketh. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain.
2. "And shouldst thou muck about with it and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm."
3. And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metalsmiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust.
4. Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field-worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it.
5. And lo, they didst install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and loose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle.
6. And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunction to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong.
7. Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men the lord of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of them.
8. And being a deceitful spirit the lord of the underworld did make these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did function.
9. And the evil one also brought forth pistols in which the trigger didst both cock and fire them and which require a "dingus" to make them appear safe.
10. But man, being stupid, did not understand these new pistols and did proceed to shoot them-selves with the plastic pistol, and with the trigger cocking pistols for lo their manual of arms required great intelligence which man had long since forsaken. Yet man continue to gloat over these new pistols blaming evil forces for the negligent discharges which they themselves had committed.
11. And when man had been totally ensnared with plastic pistol, the lord of the underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible Ka-BOOM to descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution upon men. And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land.
12. Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911s to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men they didst begin to work as the Prophet had intended.
13. And the men of the land didst drive out the charlatans and profaners from the land, and there was joy and peace in the land, except for the evil sprits which tried occasionally to prey on the men and women of the land, and who were sent to the place of eternal damnation by the followers of John.
Amen

Hearing protection is good cause keeps unwanted noise out. This applyes for loud noises from guns and not so loud but irritating sounds from fellow shooters. And this is a good thing. Right Kosa? 
And in electronic headset you can just switch it off to have peace and quiet, just like mute button on TS 
And even if you would use a silencer on the .338 it would still make so much noise that single hearing protection would be needed.

Okay first rangetrip with the Sako behind (yeah not until today 
) and must admit that the pepper compensator works fine. Recoil was really mild, milder than kosas 300wm loads... The reloads were from the previous owner and must admit they were... uhm.... a bit unconsistent Some touched rifling, some touched other sided, some didn't touch at all... And the loads themself seemed to vary a lot. Many rounds had late ignition. As in you pull the trigger, hear the firingpin click, then *pause* and wait... here comes the BANG. So didn't shoot any groupings, just shot the rounds away to get empty casings.
The scopemount is also one thing that didn't impress me but can't say for sure until I get to reload some decent rounds for the gun.
