IS the 30-378 too much with no brake?

[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1285385, member: 1656"] It's only silly if you choose the alternative of shooting a rifle with too much recoil for you to manage, rather than the alternative of sticking with a rifle whose recoil you can manage without a brake. I think this is another way of saying what you are saying. My primary long range hunting rifle is a 300WM specifically because it is the largest round I can comfortably shoot without a brake. For many years this has served me just fine, so I find nothing silly about it. Recently I decided that it is time to move up to a 338 Edge for certain hunts. It WOULD be silly to do this, but not brake it, just because I don't like brakes. So this rifle will be braked, even though I generally dislike brakes, because the alternative is I don't shoot a rifle that can do things the 338 Edge can do. This seems perfectly logical to me. :) [/QUOTE]
