[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1232411, member: 33822"] I'll do some more testing to see if I can find what caused my velocity drop, but overall this is great discussion. I've learned a lot, thanks to all of you guys sharing your experience. Just on the two brakes I had on my rifle, it seems like total overall port volume is what sets the Terminator T3 apart from the 4-port muscle brake. A part of my reasoning for the switch was to just get more experience with a different brake and learn something new. I only have a couple of rifles and I'm not a gunsmith, so I do what I can and certainly take advice from all of you, so I certainly do appreciate all of tue discussion. JE's discussion of how you can tune a brake and how a single brake is not ideal for all cartridges got me to thinking (smoking brain). I wonder how my personal rifle effects the efficieny of any particular brake. I've got a 27" barrel shooting a 300 grain bullet with 93.0 grains of RL-33. I don't have quickload, but I'm wondering if I'm blowing some unused powder out the barrel? Again I don't have much experience with brakes, but from examining my 4-port brake that has about 300 rounds through it, there is quite a bit of pitting around the rear facing surfaces of each port near the bore.... possibly unburnt powder hitting the metal or is this just normal for any brake from exhaust gas? Just some observations, and overall there are so many variables at play with any particular rifle, just like Wildrose just mentioned. Tuning a brake sure sounds cool, I would like to learn more about how that works some day. Here's the 4-port side by side with the T3. Both great brakes in my book. [/QUOTE]
