That's the combination I use too. A mercury reducer and Pachmeyer Decelerator pad. It really tames a 416 Rigby loaded up to its full potential.You are right about the Mercury suppressors. I have mercury reducers and Pahmeyer recoil pads on a 7.5lb 7 RUM and a 9 lb 338-378. Works perfect for hunting, but for off the bench doing load development or any time I am firing more than 3 shots to verify sight in to go hunting, I still screw on the brake. I can wear double hearing protection at the range, and as far as muszzle blast I stay well away from other shooters. Best of both worlds in my books.
