[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1502126, member: 104167"] One last thing then, unless you have a reply..... The weight of the charge (powder) has a substantial effect on recoil. Why then in a 30 caliber does a 308, 30/06 300 win mag 300 weatherby and 300 RUM have progressively more recoil with the same 180 grain weight bullet? Because the expanding gas has a huge effect on the felt recoil of the rifle. The bullet weight is only a small part. So, if you can reduce the felt recoil to 50, 60 or 70 percent (the FELT recoil) then re-directing the gas is having a huge effect. You just cannot argue with what you are feeling, or not feeling at the butt end of the rifle. It works and works phenomenally! Watch a video of the barrel before and after a brake. I don't think there is any arguing with the reality of it. Yes, there are downsides to a brake. "Perceived" noise and blast to the side. You have to wear hearing protection, bralke or no brake and Don't have your buddies stand to the side of your muzzle. But if you don't want to get beat up and you want to see your target after the shot, you need a brake. [/QUOTE]
