Muzzle brakes

[teele1]

I have 2 MuzzleBrakesandMore brakes and absolutely love them

Thanks guys. I appreciate your business and I'm glad you like the brakes.

Thanks for the heads up, Alex.

time to order, those big calibers need all the help they can get, I shoot the 7 STW and 7 Mashburn Super, 28 Nosler is next.

I started wearing a set of Peltor Tac 6 electronic ear muffs some years back at a cost of $69-$79. I have heard more deer snort wheeze and grunt than you could ever imagine, it is a new hunting experience wearing electronic ear muffs. The Tac 6 ear muffs fold up and go in your coat pocket.

I've not been a fan of Nathan's previous brakes but I will give anything an honest try so I put a Beast on my 28 Nosler and been a solid fan since, there is no other brake on the market, especially under $150 that works as well, the manner it holds the muzzle down is perfect and I can feel the gun tracking better than with the harshness of top ports.

One shot may not kill you, but one can dang sure damage your hearing beyond repair. I shot between 2 braked rifles at the groundhog shoot last Saturday (wearing plugs AND muffs), and my ears are still ringing.

Yes sir, one shot can do damage from which there is no return. I have that experience. LDS

FWIW

I use 3,4 & 5 gill Nathan & Ross brakes, and just love them,
all these brakes are mounted on 18-20" bbl's in 284, 280 AI calibers and run rifle scopes on all my SP pistols. The new 6 SLR will wear one also.
THEY WORK.

And I don't get scope eye any more........ twice was enough for me.

Tia,
Don

I think it's important to point this out, that it perfectly acceptable to wear electronic plugs or muffs while hunting. Electronic ear plugs or muffs can save a lot of hearing, especially when shooting those long range big boomers. I wear the Tac 6 when hunting and shooting at the range. If the cartridge/muzzle brake is really loud, I wear both muffs and plugs.

To each their own; I find the muzzle blast and noise more offensive than any amount of recoil. My basic philosophy is that if you find the recoil too much, you're shooting the wrong caliber. A past recoil pad tames the heavy calibers without affecting anything else. Muzzle blast for me is simply unacceptable.

And this ^ is fine, for you, now go start your own thread about your philosophy on muzzle brakes and how you feel.

Sorry, the title of the thread wasn't, my love for muzzle brakes, there's always room for different views and opinions, sorry that you can't accept a different viewpoint. I've made my point and don't need to start a new thread. If you need to compromise a rifle because you can't handle its recoil that's your personal problem.

There are times when it is very important to see your bullet impact, and most muzzle breaks will allow this, but as Alex Wheeler has pointed out, this muzzle break is especially effective. I can see how all PRS shooters will love a very effective muzzle break, long range hunters, and all varmint hunters that live to see the bullet impact on p. dogs, ground squirrels, and rock Chucks.

I have been shooting muzzle breaks since 1987, they add a dimension to shooting that is nothing less than extraordinary in the pleasure of shooting. On p. dog towns, I do wear ear plugs and ear muffs, and I can hear my hunting partner whispering next to me as he relates spotting the next animal to me. I can not stress how wearing electronic ear muffs will allow you to hear deer grunting and snort wheezing as deer are talking a lot more than the naked human ear can pick up. I use a grunt call, rattle bag, and snort wheeze when bucks are in the rut, and the use of the electronic ear muffs has allowed me to pick up some nice bucks.

There are several things in the shooting world that seems to escape hunters:

a. the use of very simple wind flags in load development

b. the use of electronic ear muffs in protecting your hearing and enhancing your hunting

I can appreciate and understand the importance of being able to see a bullet impact, in given situations it can be of critical importance. The added benefit of electronic earmuffs is significant in reducing the affects of muzzle blast and increased noise. Like recoil, the affects of muzzle blast are different for every shooter, some people are easily able to adjust to increased muzzle blast through the use of ear plugs and electronic ear muffs while others are not.

I've always had sensitive hearing, I wear ear plugs and muffs when shooting. I'm fortunate that recoil has never affected me. For the big bores I have used a past recoil pad when spending considerable time at the bench working up loads. The recoil pad has always been more than adequate in taming the big bores. What I can't tolerate is unnecessary noise; even the best hearing protection simply doesn't diminish the marked increase in noise from muzzle brakes. It basically comes down to individual tolerances, for me felt recoil is far more acceptable than the dramatic increase in noise that muzzle brakes generate.

Glad to hear toy experience Alex.
I have one at the Smith getting built right now that will have a MB&M brake when it gets here.

...I wear ear plugs no matter what unless hunting. One shot wont kill me...

One shot will hurt your hearing. How much...

That is the $2000 question (good hearing aids).

I didn't where them once when hunting. Never again.

I wanted to make a quick post because I am so impressed with this brake. I have used a bunch of brakes, they all work. I had a 3 port brake on my 28 Nosler. I thought it kicked a little much. I dont like recoil. I heard good things about the muzzle brakes and more brakes. I put a 4 port MB&M on there and oh my god! I can free recoil this 8.5lb with optics 28 nosler. The difference was absolutely amazing to me. I dont know the manufacturer, but give credit where credits due, he designed the best brake I have used by far.

I shoot some rifles where a brake is required for physical safety. I'm building a .375 Wildcat that will be bigger than a 375 CheyTac.

The barrel is an oversized heavy palma. It will need a brake. MB&M sounds right. I'll have to check with them.
