[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1711256, member: 104268"] The OEM barrel on my Savage LRH had an "on/off" radial brake, so I tested it for the same questions. I also tested a 308 LAR-8 with and without its Smith side ported brake. [SIZE=14px]There was no velocity difference open or closed on the 300WM, nor with/without the break on the AR, so I don't think the brake increases/decrease the velocity at all. I saw no POI shift either, but I didn't really test that rigorously at significant distance. I can tell you there was a substantial increase in recoil with the 300WM brake closed, and the LAR-8 with the brake removed. I'm a huge proponent of brakes, as I never shoot without ear pro (hunting included).[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
