[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1449092, member: 74902"] I have a rather bad case of permanent tinnitus from one blast from a braked 300 RUM that I accidentally shot without my hearing protection. That was 5 years ago. I have to sleep with a fan in the bedroom now to create enough background noise so the tinnitus will not keep me awake. If you hunt with friends and family you have to make **** sure they have their hearing protection in also before you pull the trigger... I wear electronic ear plugs now that are in all day long when hunting with a braked or un braked rifle. I still use a couple brakes but only on a couple rifles dedicate to LR. Shot a 7RM hunting rifle many many years without a brake. All it really needs is a good recoil pad. You can manage the jump by controlling the forearm or by resting the rifle, closer back toward its balance point on a pack or whatever. [/QUOTE]
