If the brake on your 243 isn't reducing recoil it is an ornament not a brake....

A good brake will make a noticable difference on any calibre even a .223.

I could fire my 308 Montana single handed with a T2 on it

it reduces bugger all now i have taken it off, i am not even bothering to brake my 264 Winmag. even with 95gr sst the 243 kicks bugger all an ornament is the best way to disscribe the brake. plus i am not wearing earmuffs hunting just to have a muzzlebrake

One thing that gutted me with the .300wsm was having to make sure I have hearing protection.

Yep always said if you were going to have a braked rifle have a big one

Guys use the brakes on the "little" rifles on the range, shooting steel etc & generally take them off when hunting.

You absolutely have to use hearing protection if you are going to fire a braked rifle...
