I've hunted Africa 6 times with Braked and non-braked rifles. The only difference is I probably could not recover fast enough from the first shot from one of these cannon's if it didn't have a brake. Out in the bush, the difference in blast sseems negligible to me. Of course it might effect a tracker ( with normal hearing) standing on the side of the gun. As to accuracy, the only way a brake will effect your accuracy is if it's installed improperly. By the way the correct way to install a muzzel brake involves either removing the barrel first and centering the bore on a lathe, or use of a headstock spider which allows the action to be left inplace. Both methods require that you indicate the bore before you cut the threads for the brake. If your Ruger has a barrel a barrel band front sight, I'd get it magnaported or EDM in a bunch of holes. Accuracy will be totally unaffected by this process if done properly. Most problems traced to the muzzel break are caused by their not being alligned with the bore. You will also not lose any velocity with a muzzel brake. Finally think of a muzzel brake as a gas relief. Cartridges that burn more powder will show the greatest effect on recoil reduction with a brake. Don't expect much recoil reduction from a .223 as compared to a 458 Lott!-Rob
