Nibblet I have a Hardy can on my 338 Edge - no hearing protection required.
Had a mae. They are the quietest ive heard but the lightest ones are the better part of a kilo.

Personally I would'nt run a Friggen piss weak Hardy Bomb on anything that runs more than 50-60g's of powder especially if you want to blast any more than 3 shots in a row.
Blahahaha fuck bumbing around with cans, louldners are the way to go, Just get a Terminator Brake they're mint
Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
gidday phil,good to see your back.
just because your hot loads bent a dan can a couple of years ago theres no need to get all negative!
his magnum cans i have run and running are fine with his new one smaller and lighter than the first can i had.
i have a break and can for the 338 and way prefer the can as if you forget your protection your either deaf or deerless
each to their own
My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!
Two Interesting replies there Andy and Philipo, Having done the can thing on Lapuas and Edges I would also go with the brake,
Less recoil, lighter, just take your Earmuffs
+1 on the Terminator
Why can a 338? By their nature these big guns are a heavy unit. It not like your going to have a deer jump up in front of you that you will be able to shoot anyway, will it? (you have to get off the quad first and unhitch the trailer) and unless you have a March even if you do get rifle to shoulder fast enough you wont see it with your 6X bottom end scope. 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.
Hahaha fucken mint bro.
Andy A is one of my best shooting mates ( he friggen knows his stuff & is probabaly one of of the nicest'n'most helpfull guys I / you will ever meet on this forum ) but as in all relationships we have our disagreements
He has had a good run out'a his Dan Cans & shit I must admit his TRG shoots mint, I ( as I stated "personally" ) think HRE cans are great for a LW hunnting rifle, shit the one one my 308 is mint, but with light /weight you lose strenght as "Dan's Mag Can's " go and Ive had one ( first gen ) blow ans another ( gen 2/3 ) bulge so Im a little aprehensive
Each to there own, I surpose but I'd go for something with a more weight for a mag
Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
Always fun trying to be a spotter for a braked 338LM. Dust and debris flying everywhere, feels like time stops for a second. End up with a range bag placed between the two rifles for some protection. I prefer a can... but sometimes its just fun to make noise!
I would be spotting from behind the firer not to the side, for accurate calls and to avoid blast anyway.
Muzzle breaks are only good for the shooter.

Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
