[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1449711, member: 105926"] In the last few years there have been advancements in cartridges to the point where you question if a heavy recoil round is needed. Don’t get me wrong at LR distances of 700+ I prefer shooting my 300 with a brake (I can spot my own shots and reduces recoil). I hunt with this gun with the intention of taking these long shots and find I have plenty of time to put in hearing protection. However, at distances closer than that there is often lighter recoiling cartridges that make a muzzle break unnecessary for recoil (obviously this is dependent on the game your hunting). There are many cartridge choices now that are plenty adequate for taking most game and have very little recoil. Another consideration is whether you have a spotter. If you do, someone can spot your shots and call corrections, making a muzzle break unnecessary for this purpose. [/QUOTE]
