I have a Browning 300 win mag that used to whoop my butt and got to the point I didn’t want to shoot sent in to have a muzzle brake installed and when it come back kick was just about all gone, took it hunting and shot a deer with it in a valley and my ears rang for about two days. Did take to Colorado and shot a couple Elk with it but not without ear protection…. Know it just sets in the cabinet :/ Not a big fan of muzzle brakes
