[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 618884, member: 3733"] Thanks guys, I have put the mini on 300 wsms and they work great on that cartridge. we moved them up to a 338 win mag on a specific request from a customer and the recoil reduction was not as good as the original round CSR brake. Besides the lack of port to gas ratio it also had to contend with the larger thru hole of a 338 cal bullet. I would suspect it would work considerably better on a 300 win mag than the 338. I would also say that you would have at least a 30% reduction even with the compromise. Bullet weight will also affect the results, lighter bullets would be more conducive for reducing the felt recoil. If your going over 200 grains, that might be a bit too much to overcome. Couple of options, 1.the original CSR brake in the .885" or .765" dia. would be very effective, both have been proven on 300wm and work very well. They have larger volume ports for removing gas. 2.The standard 3 port, the round versions of the slabbed models can be turned down in dia. to the slab height of the same slabbed models. so you could take the 1.250" round muscle brake and turn it down to 1". This will slightly change the way the brake acts in regard to eliminating the concussion effect to the shooter, you will feel a slight concussion as compared to no concussion when left at original dimensions. I use the mini on 3 of my personal guns a 308, 260 ai, and a 7 rsaum. On the 260 ai in a 14lb rifle I can watch my bullet trace from about 300 yards out drop into a 600 yard steel target. On the 7rsaum at 11lbs I can see the impact but can-not pick up the trace. this is prone on a bipod with my body lined up straight behind the gun. [/QUOTE]
