[QUOTE="30BR, post: 1703190, member: 64079"] Just diminishing returns with the extra ports for cartridges with smaller gas generation... The brakes act by the gas interacting with the walls of the ports. With thinner barrels of hunting rigs, you need to be careful not to use a brake with vertical ports, without matching ports on the bottom. In some situations, the gas acting on the upper ports can actually deflect the barrel down, unless an offsetting port is used. The downside, is that the bottom ports will kick up a lot of dust and debris from the prone position. [/QUOTE]
