The first thing you need to do is wear good hearing protection. I have problems with my hearing and often times I will wear some ear plugs under the earmuffs. Since you want low noise, I assume you want a rifle length barrel. You already have a TC contender, so I think that would be the easiest and cheapest way for you to go. You can get a 16 to 24 inch barrel from 235 to 280 dollars depending on what you choose from E Arthur Brown, they are the distributors for the TC Custom shop. I got the Redding dies because they were cheaper, and they have worked fine for me. You can either buy the brass already made or easily make your own from 221 fireball brass. That said, I have been having a blast with a 300-221 on an AR15, but that is a bit more money. Some others here may have better ideas. Good luck.
