[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1230644, member: 13110"] Obviously not all the more aggressive brakes were tested in the tests PRB did but the 2 that did the best have more aggressive port angles. That is why they reduce the most recoil. Here are several test I've done comparing the T-3 Terminator, Harrels, Fat Bastard, Little Bastard, Muscle Brake, etc. on rifles from a 6.5x47 Lapua to a 338 Lapua. [url]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfCk0LiY1gwB-BIdTYWdhcQ[/url] The guy from Terminator Products has already tested the Pain Killer, DE, Alamo 4 Star, and Fat Bastard brakes so I didn't feel the need to buy all of them for testing. I did try to buy a Alamo 4 Star and they finally got back to me after 3 months to try and finish the order. Needless to say I canceled the order. If it takes 3 months to get one not many people are going to buy it. I did also offer to test Jerry's Assassin brake on my test sled but he wasn't interested. When I get into testing 5 ports I might buy one of Jerry's brakes to compare with the others. Personally I don't think it will be any better because he uses progressively steeper ports. So the first port is about a 10 degree back angle and then they get steeper as you go further down the brake. Somewhat of the same concept as the muscle brake.
