Two Reasons You Should Get a Muzzleloader Muzzle Brake

For some purists, the term “muzzleloader muzzle brake” might sound just as jarring as “muzzleloading scope” or “muzzleloader fiber optic sights”. To others, a muzzleloader muzzle brake might just not sound like it should be part and parcel of the front stuffer experience, but even so, they wouldn’t go into the field or to the range without one.  Granted, sidelock shooters are more or less barred from this, but many modern in-line muzzleloaders have threaded barrels that can accept muzzle brakes, and for those that can, these are some of the most impactful muzzleloader accessories out there, ranging right alongside speed loaders and bullet starters as the more important accessories in the sport.  So, should you get one, and if so why? Recoil Reduction First and foremost, muzzleloader muzzle brakes, like any other muzzle brake, can reduce recoil, and in no small part. Most of them can, in some cases, cut felt recoil by close to 50% without adversely affecting shot power. Now, granted, this has a more pointed effect for centerfire rifle shooters than it does for those that mess with black powder and equivalents. Modern centerfire autoloaders generally produce sharper recoil and since they are capable of quick follow up shots (unlike smoke poles) that recoil reduction is a huge bonus that impacts handling and the speed of follow up.  But that doesn’t mean much if you are recoil shy. Those that don’t appreciate recoil don’t really care much about rate of fire, so to them, anywhere they can cut recoil is a win. And, with a muzzleloader muzzle brake, you can cut recoil significantly.  Muzzle Plume Dispersal/Dissipation  Another huge benefit of outfitting your muzzleloader with a muzzle brake has to do with the fact that some models have a radial configuration that actively helps to disperse the muzzle plume.  Since being able to reacquire your target as quickly as possible is one of the prime keys to determining if your shot connected and if your placement was good, the more quickly your muzzle plume dissipates, the better.  Some muzzleloader muzzle brakes feature a design that helps disperse the muzzle plume as quickly as possible, so you need to do less jockeying around the smoke to determine where your target is and whether your shot was good.  Spending less time looking for your target means you can get onto reloading more quickly so you can be ready for the follow-up shot, whether you need it or not.
