Im wondering about the gains in muzzle jump reduction. I want to take my .223 to some matched this year and My research has told me that larger calibers benefit more than small calibers from brakes. is it worth putting a brake on or are the gains very minimal?
muzzle brake .223??

jecustom.com - Recoil Calculator This is one of the best brakes on the market, the gains in recoil reduction is about the best, so you should be able to see the amount of reduction the best will have, and if its worth it to you.
If your rig is already threaded for a muzzle brake, cost is minimal; i.e., my wife's RRA came with a RRA Tactical Muzzle Brake. It's OK, not that muzzle rise or recoil is an issue but I wanted to try the RRA Operator Muzzle Brake for $35 (just ordered it today). Having said that it's worth it for me.
If it's not already threaded, the cost is more; expect ~$100 threading and installation plus the cost of the muzzle brake ... and there's plenty of good ones out there. Riley just provided you with one of them.
It boils down to personal preference regardless of gain or cost as you have the ultimate decision.
Good luck!
