[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 925774, member: 2736"] Based on the recoil test we have performed the Mercury recoil reducers do very little for ft/lbs of recoil. they do add about a pound of weight to the rifle (That does reduce recoil and reduces recoil velocity because of the weight) A 300 RUM we tested that weighed 8 lbs produced 15.14 ft/lbs of recoil with the Assassin brake on it. We added one pound to the test rifle and it lowered the recoil to 13.46 (1.68 ft/lbs) the exact reduction we found in a rifle with the mercury recoil device. While testing muzzle brake devices we found only 1 to 2 ft/lbs of reduction (About the same as a good recoil pad). Not knocking the product, It is the easiest way to lower recoil and with a good recoil pad it will improve the recoil,but a 1lb slug of lead does about the same thing. I was also surprised with the results, but the test were conclusive as far as I was concerned. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
