Loudest Muzzle Blast

[denton]

We have a woman show up at our range from time to time to test government owned firearms that she maintains.

My SIL and I were shooting a couple of benches away, and using a brass catcher that was basically fabric on a rebar frame with a square steel tubing base. The muzzle blast from her 50 BMG single shot routinely knocked our brass catcher over. SIL and I both got to shoot it... not too fierce on the recoil.

My 20" Browning 30-06 with muzzle brake BOSS is no slouch in the noise department. I only used it once, and switched to the non-muzzle brake BOSS, but in the meantime the guy next to me up and asked what kind of monster magnum I was shooting... no wonder Browning now automatically gives you both.
