Thanks guys,looks like I do need to look into a break as a possibility.
I shoot 223 (5.56) every single day with and without breaks. I have used just about every brand made and those who say any break is quite is on crack. I have them on about half of my rifles, but teaching a lot of new shooters IME the noise/concussion causes more flinching then recoil. Just from a function of how they work they will increase blast, concussion, noise, and flash.
Seriously you are over thinking this, especially the .357/.223 part. Just get a good 223, use good bullets and she will slaughter deer.
