IS the 30-378 too much with no brake?

[QUOTE="ctw, post: 1294624, member: 89671"] I never shot my .30-378 without the brake and don't want to either. I have punished my self enough over the years with my share of the big calibers. The first time I pulled the trigger on the big thirty weatherby was an eye opener. That rifle seemed to caress my shoulder with the recoil of a .243 win. Is it loud? oh yes. But I won't shoot it with out ear protection or for that matter any of my other rifles. This was the first rifle I've ever had the opportunity to hunt with that had a brake. To be able to shoot a game animal and watch the reaction to the hit unfold right before your eyes thru the scope was amazing. I had never experienced that before, and I then became my own spotter. No more searching for the game animal thru the scope to see what the reaction was due to the lack of recoil and muzzle jump. I now am able to see water jugs explode after the hit while placing them at long yardages. There are pros and cons to everything, but for me the benefits outweigh the negatives. [/QUOTE]
