Bart, I can not tell the difference in my .300 Win mag with brake and my .338 Lapua with brake. They both recoil something about like a .243 Win. The only difference is the Lapua is a bit louder and knocks off hats beside me. On my shoulder, they both feel the same. I am sure the Lapua would be a bruiser without the brake, but I have no desire to pull the trigger on it with the brake off and find out.
