Exactly my thinking. A muzzle brake works by porting blast in a direction that helps stabilize rifle , much the same principal as a jet engine , but in my mind having the brake in a tube that contains said blast without venting directly to atmosphere in required direction the blast/ jet engine effect is mitigated. That's the way I see it anyway.
Had a gunworks suppressor on my factory 7m08 tikka and now have a dpt on my short barrel light weight tikka 308 and the 308 feels smoother to shoot to me with less kick at the shoulder .
