I am completely new to this concept but with Texas making it legal to hunt game animals with a can, Im trying to learn as much as I can.
1. Is a suppressor as effective reducing recoil as a muzzle brake? I have a Radial discharge brake on my 300WM and although it is loud, I can shoot it all day with no problem with recoil.
2. Does a suppressor have any negative side effects? Slower MV, reduced accuracy, and so on...?
3. How much does a suppressor need to reduce the volume to be able to shoot without ear plugs or muffs (and not damage your hearing)
4. How do I know that I am looking at a quality product? Im sure fit and finish will tell you alot, but does the rated reduction in DB tell the story. Like if a company says that they can reduce a 30 cal gun (308-300WM) 25-29 DB does this tell me what I need to know?
I hope these are not ask everyday....
