I'm not sure about feeding issues, but I imagine that would depend more on the particular rifle. I would stay away from muzzle brakes. I really don't care for that level of muzzle blast nor would I introduce a new shooter to that either.

Again, my Ruger #1 in 7x57 is a very soft shooter, albeit a little heavy. Most factory loads are in the 2400 fps class. A handloader should be able to get close to 2800 or more in a long tube, but the 30/30 power level shoots just dandy and kill whitetail cleanly. Spitzer bullets offer quite a bit in trajectory and I put my MPBR well over 200 yards.
