The recoil energy caused by the acceleration of the bullet is only about 1/2 or even less than the total recoil energy. and it is by itself not a measurement of felt recoil or recoil by itself for that matter. There are a lot of very simplistic definitions found on such things as Wikipedia and...

I disagree, go to Physics. the one thing that many are over looking for recoil is "time" getting part of a story really isn't much of a story at all! Pretty much the same thing as putting a cotton ball over a very slow leak on your air compressor or releasing a lot of air all at once in front...

That is absolutely 100% guaranteed incorrect. For recoil energy both bullet and gunpowder velocities are squared while their weight is multiplied not the other way around.

I am also going to say Physics is physics, it will allow us to play with it but will not allow us to break its rules. The shorter a barrel the better a brake works the shorter a barrel the noisier it gets. The heavier the bullet for a cartridge the less the powder charge is and less recoil...

I do not feel that the angle of the ports or whether it has a radial appearance has much to do with the noise concern. From what I have seen it is an issue of directing the shock wave forward. I had the opportunity to help put in a logging road that was above some homes. The man that set...

Honestly at this point there is not anything other than speculation. No one has it in their hands that can give a look and identify the concern. Just plain take it to a gun smith and have him identify the problem it could be something so simple that you will slap yourself in the head and say "...

IdahoCTD that is why I choose the muzzle master. I would not even consider a conventional ported Brake. I have tested quite a few of them on a recoil sled. There are numerous ways to measure recoil reduction, but it is very easy to tell noise reduction. The ported Brakes bounce a SPL of a...

Very good news and will continue to pray!

Under sized chambers are extremely rare and inadequate head spacing is as well. Die Manufacturers make their dies on the small side unless ordered differently. The problem is almost a guaranteed die set up problem along with trim length and c.o.a l. If the chamber is smooth the only thing you...

I don't know for sure but I think the Signature 3/8 and 11mm dovetail rings are only available for the 30mm tubes. Might want to check on that before purchasing a scope

The 452 Is a CZ it is a very good inexpensive 22LR. Havent seen the 453 at a couple of hundred dollars more shoot any better

The only problem that is experienced is the ammunition. I let the kids and first time shooters use the cheap promotional Junk. It's a shame that so many of the good shooting once respected packages of 22 LR ammunition have turned into garbage

Firecat I'm probably going to draw a lot of flack on this one. but it is not uncommon for me and the guys to set aside the big toys while having a fun shoot and grab the 22 LR. and blast away at downhill targets as far as 400 yds. away. 400 yds. may not be considered long range but for the 22...

I just stick em in the shower and use soap and water with a soft brush
