Riflehunter,
I'm with you on the muzzle brake for sure. I find them obnoxiously distracting and I have enough hearing loss as it is!
RinB,
In the same boat (with far less experience than you) if I feel the need for more than my 30-06 I'll use my 375R or 9.3X62.
Incidentally, I value the EXPERIENCE of everyone here just choose to not participate when threads devolve.
No harm, no foul
