[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1262660, member: 2736"] Having worked on a design to minimize all of the bad effects of brakes, I found that all brakes are not created equal and perform in many different ways based on there design. All brakes are loud and you need to wear ear protection, BUT Ear protection should be worn at all times while shooting a high powdered rifle because the lowest DB we found was 105 db and the loudest was 108 db the safe level is around 85 db. Also some brakes direct the muzzle blast backward at up to 45o and they play havoc on your ears even though the Sound levels (DB) are no higher than a rifle without a brake, it just directs the sound backwards at the shooter. Muzzle brakes are not for everyone But they do have there place and they allow recoil sensitive people to shoot much more powerful cartridges more accurately. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
