[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 446832, member: 3745"] I have the 3 port APS brake on a 338Khan and also have a Holland QD brake on another Khan. Note, my Holland brake is a QD rather than a radial. Both rifles weigh about the same and have an A5 stock so it is a pretty "apples to apples" comparison. This is just my observation from shooting the two. The APS PK brake seems to be more efficient than the Holland QD, although not by a huge degree. I notice less less recoil and I am able to stay on target better with the rifle that has the APS brake. Previously, that rifle had a Defensive Edge brake which is a similar design to the Holland brake. Those two brakes seem to be about the same. As others have already mentioned, the radial brake will blow around a lot more dirt and since I shoot prone or low off a tripod in the field I am not a fan of radial brakes. All three of those brakes will also give greater recoil reduction than the radial as well. The Holland QD, APS PK, and the DE brakes are all fine brakes and will serve you well. Of those three the APS will give you the most recoil reduction. Remember, recoil reduction is not just about keeping the rifle from hurting when it kicks. When shooting at game at long distance it is important to be able to see your bullet impact. Since many of us don't have the luxury of having a spotter along on most hunts that means we have to be able to control the rifle well enough to either stay on target or get back on very quickly. The less the rifle moves during recoil, the easier that is, so in my opinion the the most efficient brake practical is always the best. [/QUOTE]
