[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2535158, member: 42157"] I only have my experiences with only about 40-50 different brakes. Many of them used on the same rifle with the same load. My experience in regards to exit hole diameter is it has from zero to maybe not noticeable difference in recoil reduction. I have used them on .223 to only a 338 Edge. What I have found is the exhaust ports and brake design itself creates the recoil reduction. I have a radial from the late 90's designed, and made by a gunsmith in house. To be clear I only have my body meter not some 100K lab equipment to measure down to the .0001gms of energy. I have a few "22cal" brakes and most are "30cal", and the last one I ordered (last week) is another 338. I have another one to order and I'm looking very hard at a "45cal". Then I just put a brake on with matching threads and don't worry about it being "large enough". [/QUOTE]
