I am using a Thunder Beast Ultra 5 on a 20” 300WSM and would not want to go back to hunting without a can. For me it was all about having it for hunting.
I don’t like shooting at all with the full recoil of no brake - adding the brake changes poi so taking that off just for hunting is a no go in my opinion - but with the with the brake it’s SO loud! I would wear ear plugs and muffs when practicing and I am sure a single shot without hearing protection would damage my hearing a little. So then I have to carry hearing protection and have it on whenever a shot could happen quickly. The can is so nice because I don’t have to think about hearing protection while hunting! (I still wear it when practicing). On the 20” barrel it packs and carries well, but if/when I re-barrel I would probably try an 18”.
