to put it another way
you could happily shoot same rifle with reduced load or if it was heavier...SO something is out of whack...the muzzle brake/suppressor thing helps even it out.
my 20" lightweight poohseventy is a pussy to shoot with a suppressor fitted..without it I get "love bites" unless my technique/hold is spot on. compare that to the .308 which is a little heavier and its fine either with or without suppressor.
