I ignore the “magnum” word! A 22 RF magnum certainly doesn’t need a brake......whereas a 460 Weatherby Magnum may need a brake!
It’s a very personal thing.......how comfortable behind the firearm! My personal comfort limit is about 20 rounds from the bench with 60 ft/lbs recoil from a properly fitted rifle with a good recoil pad! I suspect that my limit from an un braked, 10 pound 460 Weatherby may be one shot from the bench!
Personally, I hate a brake! If I must use a brake on my hunting rifle.....I will go to a different cartridge! memtb
