RE: question about muzzle brakes?
I agree, shoot your 22 more to cure a flinch, if that is your problem. A muzzlebrake might reduce recoil, but it increases muzzle blast. If you hunt without hearing protection, it can really do a number on your ears. And, if you have to take a shot in the prone position, it will through more dirt/sand into your face. JMHO of course.
