Good day everyone and I'm hoping to get some good advice here from the great people on this forum. In all my years of shooting and hunting with a 30-378 Weatherby, I'm finally ready find a new brake other than the factory brake the MarkV comes with. I've been very happy with the recoil reduction of the factory brake but I'm looking for the best option when shooting prone (side port) but also one that would help with the muzzle jump to help see target impacts. Any and all good recommendations are welcome and thanks in advance for giving them.

Terminator, MBM, TiPro.
Thank you Adam. Of the three you've listed, is there one you like more than the other?
The PVA Shockwave is a very good option as it's great for recoil reduction but also doesn't send a lot of blast back at the shooter like some do. Worth a look.

Shockwave Muzzle Brake
Cut recoil and muzzle rise, increase accuracy with the self-timing Shockwave. Easy install, no machining or gunsmithing required. At PVA, we engineer repeatability. 100% made in USA.

I put a Area 419 HellFire on one of my newer rifles, and it works as described. I just really don't like the look of a brake not contoured to the barrel. On an upcoming build I am having the GS turn a Hawkins titanium brake to match the barrel. It is a significant $$ increase over a shelf brake, but so is everything else on a custom build.

Terminator on 300 weatherby ,I think it's a 5 port , works great.
I've got a number of the Terminator brakes on a whole range of chambering sizes and have nothing but good to say about them. The T3 on my big 7 Allen Mag barely lets the rifle move.
Trying the Ti Pro on a new build and have not doubt that it will perform similar at a lighter weight.

Check out the new brakes from Axisworks.
We put a 5 port on my sons rifle and it has been great.

On a hunting rifle I really like the Hawkins self timing brake. The ports are straight out versus swept back so you get less concussion than say an Area419 (also a great brake) while still getting excellent recoil management. I also think their installation process and self timing design is super user friendly. I used to use the Area419 and have used MBM in the past but prefer the Hawkins. All will get the job done for you.
