The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    To answer your question You can do your load development with the break fitted so you can fire decent strings of shots without the mirage bothering you. When you're happy, clean your rifle,...

    Take a small fan with you. It will blow the mirage away before it rises into the fov of the scope. Helps the suppressor cool down a bit faster too.

    My 7mmsaum does what you are wanting. Except I did it the other other way around - developed my load with a suppressor then changed to the brake. But the load works the same with either.
