[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 766256, member: 5262"] Huh? Did you say something? :) I normally hunt in a manner that allows me to quickly insert earplugs (corded style) just before I shoot. I do have some electronic game walker ears but those are a bit of a hassle for me. I've owned several big boomers in the Encore, all handgun 15"-16.5" lenght: 308 Win (not really a big boomer, but was my first Encore barrel) 30-30 Ackley Improved (Contender) 30-06 JDJ 7mm Rem Mag 280 Ackley Improved 375 JDJ (Contender) 30-280 Ackley Improved 30-338 WM No muzzle brakes on any of them. My 30-06 JDJ would throw a good fireball when loaded with RL22 :) The 30-06 JDJ was in a standard taper barrel and was pretty stout in the recoil department. The 7 RM was a factory heavy taper barrel. That barrel was the most vicious in the recoil of any I've owned yet. The 30-280AI, 280AI, and now this 30-338 barrel are all varmint taper and recoil isn't bad on any of these barrels. 71.3 grains of H4831sc pushing a Berger 175 VLD was fairly mild in the recoil department. Of course, that was only one shot. I'll have a better feel (literally) for the recoil after spending some time at the bench. [/QUOTE]
