They help with hearing loss, and make cleaning a PITA. Other than that, they are worthless on a muzzleloader IMO. Oh yeah, they look cool! The only ones I have seen that looked like they actually help were on the Ultimate, and if you've ever seen one in action, you'll know what I mean.

Probably a good move.  Other than what Busta mentioned, if you're putting so much powder down the barrel to need a brake, you're probably wasting a ton of powder!  It also shortens the effective length of the barrel that's needed to burn that extra powder.
