I have a braked .338 WM. If there is anybody else at the range at all I immediately unscrew the brake and shoot the rifle sans brake.
After I had a KDF varmint brake put on my shortened .338 I used it about three times at the range and on one hunting trip.
I then put the brake in the die box and the thread cover on the rifle. The .30-378 Weatherby's factory brake brake is darn obnoxious.
That makes a .30-378 less attractive than an '06 to me. I do elk hunt occasionally on the coast with a fellow who uses one. He loves it.
