[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1229654, member: 33822"] The truth is I can never leave well enough alone. I had a 4-port muscle brake on it and it worked great. But I ended up installing a Terminator T2 brake on my 300 win mag and I was very impressed with not only the recoil reduction but also the quality of the machining. The machining is of very high quality and compared to the muscle brake, the wall thickness around the ports is thinner which makes for a much lighter brake. So I decided to give the Terminator T3 a try on my 338 RUM. I personally think the T3 reduces recoil noticeably more but that is subjective without any real testing to back that up. But it did lighten my rifle up and make it noticeably less nose heavy as well. I was really worried it would change the accuracy or make me retune my load, but this 338 has been a dream to shoot. It never was finicky with hand loads and shoots everything to just about the same POI, so I took the gamble. I'm the end it shoots just as good as it used to, with the exception of this muzzle velocity difference. That's still got me scratching my head... [/QUOTE]
