My 33dB ear plugs will always be lighter than your anybrand can. Judging by the look of it, KiwiGregs brakes will out perform any can too. So, as I guess you will have minutes, not second to pull that trigger the brake appears a no brainer to me (with big guns).
    I don't have a 338 (or anything real big) so please tell me if I'm wrong. Just logically, from this side of the fence, a can sounds like a waste of time to me.

    my 8lb edge is 1/2 pound heavier than my everyday hunter, it also mag feeds a round, the scopes lowest end is 4x, so pritty much spook n shoot if i really wanted to - but its braked so no thanks
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
