At 32g N110 with the 200g bullets, you shouldn't need a brake, but at 35g you may want to consider it.

I agree - with that load I wouldn’t think you’d need a brake.

How do you load gun with muzzle brake?

How do you load gun with muzzle brake?

Loading funnel. Not sure if Mark has them, but Hankins does.

Bullet same way thru funnel?

Bullet same way thru funnel?

Yes, exactly. A .45 brake is bored to .50 and a load thru funnel is used in which powder, wad, & bullet all get loaded thru.

I shot the 195g Barnes with 32g of N110 a couple of weeks back through my 26” Woodman barrel without a brake and the recoil is not bad at all. I have never been recoil sensitive though.

How do you load gun with muzzle brake?

Look at the situation realistically. If you have a screw-on brake, leave it finger-tight. With muzzleloaders, you’re only gonna get one shot at a time anyway. One shot ain’t gonna blow off the brake. So shoot, unscrew the brake, reload, re-install the brake, and have at it. This will only add five or ten seconds to your reloading process.

I don’t know, if buck is flopping around while your trying to load, will be handy,
