[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1302056, member: 70559"] ATH, There two things that come to mind here. 1. One time a ran a test with my .375-.416 Rem Mag running 88.0 grains of 4320 powder. I fired two shots: One with and one without the brake. The three test subjects didn't know what a brake is. They all declined hearing protection despite me using them. I asked them to tell me if the shot with the brake installed was louder or the shot without the brake installed was louder. I was about fifty feet from the garage where my dad was seated. About half way to where I was my uncle was standing and near my side was my brother. I suggested he move back but wanted to argue with me so I dropped it. We were under a canopy of oak trees. The results were quite surprising. All three said the shot without the brake was loudest. Also the loudest rifle I heard at the range was an unbraked 7 Rem Mag. I asked one of the other shooters if my braked .264 was a loud as the 7 Rem Mag. He said, "Not even close." 2. My Terminator 3 has four ports out the sides. The one nearest the muzzle has the back part perpendicular to the bore with the front angled back. The other three ports are angled back. Since I never fire any firearm without hearing protection I have no idea if it is any different from any other braked or unbraked rifle. I know it sure tames my 6.5 RUMLN (water capacity of 109 grains). It had a Carbon fiber barrel on a Pierce titanium action with the lightest stock MPI makes. I could see the bullets impact on game. I discovered years ago I really noticed the recoil and loudness of a 7-.300 Wea. when I fired at a deer. I guess I was getting so casual in my deer hunting the excitement didn't overwhelm my other senses. Now I have brakes one everything except the .223 and use plugs and electronic muff at the range and electronic muff while hunting. [/QUOTE]
