Short answer - "Yes" - but it will have to be a brake that handles 30 cal. It won't go well if you try to fire a 30 cal bullet through a 6.5 muzzle brake.
This also means there will be a little bit of reduced effectiveness in the recoil reduction when using it on the 6.5.

That's what I did ...
I use Ross Schuler side & top port brakes ... but ... I think he may have recently retired/sold his equipment to someone else who may or may not still be making the brakes.
Last ones I bought were $37 each ... shipped. Far better than their price would suggest but I don't know how they would compare to the high dollar stuff from aliens and unmarried parents

Yes, you could use the 300 PRC brake on the 6.5. That is an often asked question and you can see the results of some testing on APA's website. Bottom line is the difference in recoil reduction was pretty much a non-issue.
I've had multiple customers do this with my self
Timing brakes. The only Difference is you get slightly less recoil reduction when it's on the 6.5.... but the recoil reduction on the 6.5 isn't as a big deal because it's just that, a 6.5.

Well I would like to say yes we have a website considering the guy "started it" in November but no, not yet. It's in the works.
We currently only sell the SRS mini 5 port direct, the other brakes we make are the Ti Pro muzzle brakes available on the Rokslide forum store.

I must have 20 plus tubes for my two 1000 BR platforms. I have one that shoots 6 and 6.5 only and I have a single break for all the tubes on that gun. I have another action that shoots everything... 22 BR, 6.5 x 47, 6.5 WSSM, 300 WSM, 300 Wby, and 338 EDGE....all with one brake. I did buy a more effective side discharge for my 338 as opposed to the radial, and I could use that for everything also. I guess I am not sure how much I "lost" when shooting the 22 and 6 / 6.5's in a 338 sized break, but it isn't much, IMO.

I've used several big name brakes. Won't mention them but they're 5-6 times the price of Ross's brakes. Believe me, Ross Brakes equally OR outperform most of those others. 37.00 and even turned to diameter you prefer and shipped. That's truly a steal. I'd buy one for every gun I wanted a brake on. His brakes are all I buy right now. Wish he built a big 5 port but his 4 port 1.0" diameter makes my 338 lapua improved feel like my 308s.That's what I did ...

I recently purchased one of his 4 ports in 30 cal. It was purchased specifically for the 30 Sherman Magnum I'm building. I fired the very first round out of it last night for fireforming. 178g over 78g of H4831sc in a native 300PRC case ... I was so tightened up for the first shot expecting an angry mule to wallop me that I couldn't even tell you what it actually DID feel like. But, I'd guess LESS than my 20" tactical 308 (unbraked) ...
Can't say how much of the "light" recoil was due to the weight of the rifle (14-14.5 lbs) and how much was due to the 4 port Ross brake but it was surprisingly effective.
I've used his 3 port 30 cal brakes on 6.5 creedmoors and they are very light recoilers set up that way.

Ross sold his business to Kelly Driesel of Kuna, Idaho. No info on new owner/operation.That's what I did ...

Well remove the brake and shoot it without the brake. Then you'll know how much it reduces the recoil. I shoot my 338 lapua improved with 300s without the brake and believe me, it makes a huge difference. I can't shoot it much more than 15 shots before it's no fun anymore without the brake. I'm building a 30 Sherman Mag also and it WILL wear a Ross brake.

Kelly worked under Ross in Ross' business and simply took the business over. Same email address as Ross had. Same service and same product. No worries.
