Body weight has a big impact on bein' able to shoot with recoil. Rather than a muzzle brake dohickey, jus' invest in some bacon an' pork chops. Keep a jar of the grease on yer stove, an' cook everthin' else in it. I been slow to git in on this topic cause I' m biased. Thet' s right, I ain' t allays so open-minded as yall come to ' spect. I had a feller shoot a 300 Weatherby with a brake whilst I was in his blast zone. He had plugs on, so I couldn' t even git his attention thout spookin' the critter. Now I got a ringin' thet ain' t ever gonna go away. Any gizmo thet requires you to use another gizmo in yer ear to be able to shoot it safely is jus' one too many gizmos in my book. Go with moderate cartridges, an' eat more pork.
