[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1103338, member: 2736"] I went through all of this when I started looking to see if I could re design a better muzzle brake and got frustrated at the claims of some manufactures. there were a few that actually came very close to there claims but most were ridiculous because there was just enough gas generated recoil. (Every cartridge has two kinds of recoil, gas recoil and inertial recoil from the bullet being pushed down the barrel. Inertial recoil can only be changed by adding or subtracting weigh to the bullet or rifle or changing the velocity. A muzzle brake cannot address inertial recoil, Only gas recoil. My intentions were to try and improve the muzzle brake by design. If I couldn't, I planed to continue using the best brakes I could find. The other problem I found was there was no good accurate way of testing to get good recoil numbers. most were perceived recoil or calculated and there was no good way to compare (Measure)recoil against other brakes or the calculated recoil with a fully dressed rifle ready to hunt. We looked at 8 different methods of comparing recoil from one brake to another most would not repeat or could not accurately measure recoil. I am just a tinkerer, and when I get off into something I have to start from scratch and read everything I can on the theory and go from there. I try not to listen to hear say or my own preconceived theories or thoughts and let the test verify or nullify the results. The equipment we designed would hopefully end up being very accurate or we wouldn't use it. And and based on many test, the recoil device has proven to be within less than 1 ft/lb (It is slightly higher) so our numbers are conservative. Our test were conducted and as many brakes as we could get were used to get the results without targeting any brand, serving no purpose. We tested brakes from the cheapest to the most expensive and ended up with Video of all test to verify the comparisons and used like ammo for all test comparisons. We also did DB sound test and comparisons to prove or dis prove there was such a thing as a "Quite'' brake. THERE WASEN'T . Through impartial testing we shattered many of my beliefs as well as other "known" rules and theories. I don't claim to be an expert on muzzle brakes but I have learned lots about them and I am still learning and trying to squeeze every ounce of recoil out of a brake so shooting hard recoiling rifles or pistols will not be as painful and improve the sport we love. I am not in the business of making brakes to sell so I have no dog in the hunt. I have made a few for my friends and continue to test for design improvements. (Not all changes have been successful) But we learned from the subtle changes)so all is good. For those that are interested in watching the Videos I have posted a link [url=http://www.jecustom.com/index.php?pg=Home]www.jecustom.com - Home of the Assassin Muzzle Brake[/url]. There are 8 Videos at present on different test That can help with the selection of a muzzle brake. There are many good brakes and even the poorest can/will help reduce recoil. Sorry for being long winded but hopefully it will help. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
