My first centerfire rifle, a .270, had a muzle brake and I`ve had a couple since. Most of them reduce recoil a fair amount, some better than others, but all make the guns alot louder, especially off to the sides. If you don`t with a brake you should wear hearing protection. If you do you may need better with a brake. Now that it`s about to late, I usually wear hearing protection when deer hunting, which you would have to do if you put on a brake.
