Thread: Muzzle brakes, Suppressors, and Accuracy

He tried a suppressor to compare the difference, and even thou there was noticeable more recoil he shot far better groups with the suppressor than with the muzzle break.
On another side track, im thinking about getting a 7m mag myself. Will be used for open country, longer range stuff(not miles thou ). Even thou I know a 7m mag isn't huge on recoil, the less the better so was thinking when I get one I put one of gregs T2 brakes on. The question is, will the muzzle blast and noise be a issue if im wearing hearing protection?? Is a 7m mag with a muzzle brake be extra loud or be fine using the right hearing protection or is going the suppressor way the better way to go?
As im likely to be using it only for open country I have no problem wearing plugs or muffs when using it , or when I see game.

There is an easy fix, come up the range sometime, I have a brake testing 7RM, suppressor, brake & ammo, you can try them out

Best to go out the front of the range & lie on the grass, any structures around you can change the sound & blast signatures significantly
