[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3285015, member: 43754"] Muzzle brakes will tame the recoil but you really need to double up on hear protection-plugs and good quality muffs. I have also shot heavy contenders and like Okie4570 liked the 30 Herret for silly wets. I confess to always wear a shooting clove shooting the heavies. The 14 inch 45/70 my friend shot would tear off forends until he braked it. After being braked it didn't brake the fore end screws anymore. Sure was loud. in the late 80's I worked for major national company that built, installed and sold muzzle brakes. I have installed a ton of muzzle brakes. I only have one gun left with a brake, a 26 inch bbl, .308 Norma Mag. It shoots best with the brake on. Back in my younger days it shot varmint gun quality 5 shot groups. Brakes change the dynamics of shooting from recoil management to sound management. Thanks for listening, I have to go change the batteries in my hearing aids. [/QUOTE]
