Hinterland muzzle brakes

[deye243]

yep the percussion just about gives me a instant headache it is brutal i would rather shoot the 375 ct .

and no i ain't joking .

so i now have no follow through as when the sears break boooooom and i automatically close my eyes

this is a reflex action as it's like getting hit in the forehead with a bat .

so there you have it i must be a wimp.

Get better hearing protection. I use Peltor SportTac when using the brake or without. Not a problem.

I found the same thing when shooting my 6.5 under the roof @ SSAA. It's given me the s**ts so I've removed it from my rifle as well pretty expensive paper weight!!!!

Ahh crap , that no good fellas , I'll say the blast did take me surprise at first but it didn't cause any negative effects. Out in the grass you don't get the blast back from the roof. Maybe give it another go out in the open.

Yep will fit it up when shooting the Military comps, found it reduces recoil sure but the shape of the vents point up and the concussion from the roof s**ts you to tears!!!! so your right Chronos out in the paddock shouldn't be a problem. I hope

If you put the brake on the other way around...

Recoil will still come down but I guess muzzle jump goes way up?

hearing protection has nothing to do with it it's a shock wave ..... like at the drags with a top fuel car..

I don't give a damn whether you have a .375…that rifle would be absolutely useless around where I live. I would leave it in the boot and borrow another rifle.

[deye243]

funny that i never said i have a 375 (which i don't) what a pity you live in such a place that you can only shoot short range .

Geez calm down. Why the hostility?

It would work as a brake still, I suspect you'd be hopping so far off target though it would be too much of a pain in the ass to ever bother with.

I didn't read that as hostility, well maybe at the though of carrying a tac style rifle around his backyard.

I think NE has a valid point. If you look at the kind of steep thick terrain Victorians hunt sambar in a 6-7lb rifle is ideal and a heavy hitting .30 cal or larger the cartridge of choice a brake makes perfect sense if you'd like to see which way the beast went when it was hit.

You can't compare a 17lb rifle to a. 6lb rifle

By the same token maybe people shouldn't compare where they live and how they shoot to someone else and say their rifle is useless because of it
