[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1530349"] A hot rod revolver will definitely do better with a muzzle brake...the .458 mag rifle..not so much... I have kicked the idea around on my 300 Win mag, but to me even with 2850 fps 220 SMK loads the recoil isn't objectionable...but it's a heavy brute with no intent to save weight when it was built.. My wife...usually doesn't shoot it, but occasionally a deer has shown itself... when I was at the cook stove making lunch (my wife burns water) and since my rifle is set up to shoot (line shack on the back section slide window open push rifle forward on bench till muzzle clears window sill), she has went and sent a round down range and she notices it a lot more than I do. Note: we do wear hearing protection...muffs are situated all over the shack...so no one has to hold a shot while the other looks. I have shot the AW rifles and do like the 2 baffle brakes they use and it wouln't be too much effort to thread the barrel and set one...but...I don't know... [/QUOTE]
