[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1123742, member: 33822"] I've got a 4-port Muscle Brake on my 338 RUM and love it. I don't want to quote % effective numbers as I have never tested out lots of different brakes, but they are extremely effective. the recoil on my 9.5 pound 338 RUM feels something about like a 308 win. Remember that you can only reduce the recoil that is generated by the gunpowder... the bullet leaving the barrel is the recoil that you cannot reduce. Some brakes do angle their ports slightly backwards, but I do not know how to quantify how much the rearward gas exhaust can assist in reducing recoil. Maybe others can provide more insight on this. Lots of good options out there, just make sure you have it installed by a competent gunsmith. I've got a 300 win mag that I want to turn in to a dedicated target rifle, and I really want to try out a tuned Assassin brake. That's a brake you should include in your search. [/QUOTE]
