I have never liked them, but due to shoulder injury that can't be fixed, I need to do something.

A few questions.

Looking at several, they all claim to direct more of the gases forward thus limiting the extra noise that was prevalent in the past. Anyone find this to be true or not?

What percentage of recoil reduction can one expect, say for a KDF as an example? I'm shooting a 30-06 , 180 gr bullet at about 2700fps.

Please don't tell me to change to this or that weight bullet or different gun or different chambering. If you don't know the answer to my questions, no need to respond.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
