[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1847188, member: 2736"] My rifle weighs 12,4 pounds and recoil was 49.2 ft/lbs with this load and no brake. After testing it with my brake, recoil dropped to 17.3 and after tuning the brake for that load it measured 12.8 ft/lbs of measured recoil. The recoil reduction was 74.1 % and near the highest reduction achieved to date. The powder to bullet weight ratio is very high with this cartridge (3 : 1 and this helps. The biggest powder charge tested was 122 grains but as stated there was very little increase in velocity. (It looks like it can only burn so much powder inside the barrel and the rest is wasted) So this is definitely a good place for a muzzle brake. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
