[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 293990, member: 2736"] There are brakes with holes in the end facing forward (Like the VIAS) and they work well and they are known to be a little quieter than some others but are not as efficient as other breaks in reducing recoil. The principle way the brakes work is that they redirect high velocity gasses to reduce the push as the bullet leaves the barrel. The more gas that is directed away from the center line of the bore the more effective it is at reducing recoil. Some of the most effective brakes have the ports facing slightly backwards. (But they are very loud) . Your design will reduce recoil by some margin because you are enlarging the exit hole thus reducing the gas velocity. And it will be quieter than normal (No Break). You could do the same thing by drilling or milling the holes/openings at a forward angle. As to the accuracy, a break can change a rifles accuracy to good or bad with the same load before the break was added and you may have to start all over with load development. The main thing is go ahead and build the break and test it and see. if it doesn't do what you wanted it to try something else. Who knows you may come up with a better mouse trap.
