[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1095088, member: 2736"] Another way to look at the recoil of a 300 RUM that has 35 to 40 ft/lbs of recoil average (A 7.5 pound 30/06 produces on average 22 ft/lbs of recoil) If you install a muzzle brake you should reduce the recoil of the 300 RUM from 35% to 70% (Around 10 ft/lbs). that is 1/2 the recoil of a 3006. And now that I use ear protection when shooting anything, with or without a muzzle brake I enjoy shooting a lot more and don't damage my ears any more than they are. I have rifles with a lot more recoil than a 300 RUM that still don't have a muzzle brake on them because I don't shoot them very much (But maybe someday). Most people draw the line around 20 ft/lbs of recoil, so if a muzzle brake will allow them to use something larger for more down range energy, It is a winning choice. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
