[QUOTE="hunterforlife, post: 715665, member: 39193"] I have shot 300 WM with both Vais & DE side vent muzzle breaks. Here is what I have found. 1) Felt recoil is less with the DE side vent break than with a Vais break 2) It is not only the increased noise but all the pressure wave that punishes the ears. a) DE SV break is ~ 2-300% louder & the felt pressure wave is punishing compared to shooting without muzzle break. Don't ever shoot a large side vent break without hearing protection unless you are already deaf. b) Vais is only ~ 30-50% louder with a felt pressure wave ~100% more than a shot without muzzle break. 3) Actually hunting, I don't notice any significant difference in recoil with or without muzzle break, but noise & pressure wave are significant with DE side vent much greater than Vais muzzle break which is marginally increased over shooting without break Make sure you get a removable muzzle break with thread protector caps, then when in the field you can shoot without the muzzle break & have less risk of permanent hearing damage if you forget or don't have time to put on hearing protection.
