problem is that a muzzle break is going to make the noise louder and that adds to the perceived recoil. I would fit a suppressor and go with a light bullet and try that out. also, no offence, but...

Directional brake Will reduce recoil far more than any suppressor If you hand load, load lighter pills Suppressed 308s shoot like pusy cats so a braked one must be far better
