[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1442354, member: 1656"] I bought my 300WM acknowledging that this was the largest round I would shoot without a brake. I always prefer hearing protection but in some situations you end up without it. This year I took my 338 Edge elk hunting. I was surprised to end up on elk before we planned to encounter them, everything happened very fast, and I took the shot without hearing protection on my braked rifle. It's a conservative brake more protective to the shooter than others (Heathen) but still I really regret that shot. I still prefer to go without a brake except when recoil makes it mandatory. Spotting shots really only matters on prairie dogs to me and I can run light enough rounds I don't need a brake to do that. [/QUOTE]
