Muzzlebrake a good idea?

[Mike Moss]

Don't do it. You will damage your ears and those around you.

Instead have a softer recoil pad installed. The new ones like the Decelrator and Limbsaver really work.

Another thing you can do is handload lighter bullets for the off season.

Finally shoot it "hand held". Hold the forend with your left hand and rest your wrist against the bag when at a bench. This is good aiming practice as well.

Finally most of us really don't need a 300 mag!
