[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1086610, member: 2736"] In the process of developing an efficient muzzle brake we had to test all recoil devices to see what we were dealing with and how well each worked. each recoil device was tested on a recoil device that not only compared one to the other it also measured actual recoil with a margin of less than 1 ft/lb. In testing Mercury type devices we found that they were the least effective of all in reducing recoil energy. they did reduce recoil velocity but when replaced with a solid weight that was the same weight it reduced the recoil energy and velocity by the same amount. If you take a 16oz weight and add it to any rifle the recoil will be reduced by a percentage of the rifle weight. so the effect will be greater on a very light rifle than a heavy one. Here are all of the types of recoil reducers and there standing in recoil reduction. (Note ; there is no mention of brands just the type).
