[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1230555, member: 7999"] I've shot quite a few different brakes, but not enough to say I am some sort of expert. My current situation I am not happy with the brake that I purchased on my rebarrel. Per Ryan's recommendation I have drilled out the first baffle to try and get more pressure to the next 4. I have not had a chance to shoot it since drilling it out. When I do I'll post about it. We have put Pain Killers on almost all of our custom rifles, so they are the one that I am most familiar with. With that said they become the bell weather to compare brakes to for me. I have yet to shoot a brake that works as well. I do not notice concussion from the brake as a shooter. If you are next to the shooter, you are going to get it. So as a spotter I always set up behind the shooter. With my current riffle that I am not happy with the brake, I thought I could save a $100 bucks and go with a different brake that has a good reputation. It is on a 338 Lap imp. It is like shooting a 300wm un braked. NOT what I consider good. All of our other rifles of this same kind of class I would let women and children shoot. Those all have the PK. I picked the brake that I don't like because it has 5 ports thinking it had to work as well as a the 3 port PK. NOT EVEN CLOSE! In the end I will not experiment with any other brakes on my own rifles or customer rifles. I will wind up spending double by the time I get it fixed. My only hope is the drilling out of the first baffle, but I am not holding my breath. Steve [/QUOTE]
