Been reading about muzzle brakes; OK I understand the concept for heavy kicking guns, etc.
But, I've been reading about putting brakes on subsonic guns, 338 Whatever.
When I was a pup and wanted something "subsonic" or light recoil for gallary shooting, or varments when you dont nead a heavy rifle we just called them REDUCED LOADS using cast or jacketed bullets. I've loaded and shot thousands of them, 308 & '06 out of a M14 or Garand, using lead bullets in 50 ft indoor ranges at NRA Small Bore targets. Or plinking with heavy shooters (like my 416 Rigby and such).
Shoot, I've read tons of articles in old NRA mags about reduced loads in military rifles for shooting in National Guard indoor ranges. Gallary loads is what they were called.
My question is, if you take a kicking rifle in 300 WM or 338 Lup, and reduse the load so's its shooting subsonic;
