IMHO with the exception of contender style handguns ,if you need a muzzlebreak for a rifleone should be shooting a less powerful round. For a person that is accomplished and spent the time learning how properly shoot powerful "magnum" rounds ,abovethe 300 mag ,there is no real advantage in quicker follow up shots. Personally I could be back on my target just as fast with my 375 H&H as my 308.Good for you.
You'll find PH's in Africa that do no allow hunters to shoot rifles with muzzlebreaks and many a outfitter who cringes at the sight of one here.
I'd rather see a hunter that can place thier shots with percision and respect the limitations ofa caliber than choose a round that they need a muzzlebreak.
Heres this years follow up shot and have at least 10 more Elk, Moose,Lope and countless deer with this braked weapon.
To be honest could care less what others think, If I can have the advantage with less recoil by adding a brake I am going to do it. I am more than accomplished and find no reason but others opinions on notusing a braked weapon. Also if you have ever hunted big game in the woods as much as I you would have also figured out that the brake disperses the noise and most animals are unaware of the direction where the shot has been fired from, which in case of a miss the animals tend to hang around longer trying to figure where the noise came from.
What you choose to do is your own preference. Since I am not in Africa and seldom require a guide,I guess the only problem out there is for the others....Not ME
