IS the 30-378 too much with no brake?

[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1285367, member: 4191"] I don't like muzzle reports, with or without muzzle brakes and don't think I ever will. However I like shooting heavy recoiling rifles equipped with muzzle brakes much more, compared to shooting the same rifles without their brakes. I wear hearing protection, and even at that, I believe I'm doing some damage to my hearing with each shot fired. My ears still ring after hearing protected shooting sessions. A suppressor is the way to go if you're willing and able to put up with the costs and inconveniences. Both noise and recoil reduction. However they add 1 to 1 1/2lbs at the end of the barrel, extend the barrel length of the firearm another 8-10", cost $1,000-$1,500 plus an additional $200 for the Federal permit, and require an 8-9 month waiting period for permit review and approval. While tempting, I haven't gone there yet. A great convenience for noise reduction, they pose a significant inconvenience for backpack hunting. [/QUOTE]
