From personal experience I though this was a little suss so I decided to have a play to see the difference.
This isn't a hi-tech super accurate to the last decimal place tekkie type test, but all the same they are pretty conclusive

The first video is just the 308 Montana with & without the suppressor, I left the brake at home....
Using Belmont remanufactured rounds not sure but they might be 130-150 grain projectiles.



I went back in the afternoon so took the brake with me this time.



Had to disturb another one of the locals earlier whilst testing the new Reloder 33 in the Edge



Here is a video of my Shorty 338 Edge, the 23.5" barrel still will push the 300s just over 2700



Interesting stuff

I think that Suppressors do reduce the physical recoil a little, they reduce the perceived recoil dramatically through noise reduction.

Some suppressors may be better than others at this.
