[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 2592945, member: 13110"] My ported brakes have smaller top holes then most brake to try and reduce downward thrust. The only real way to reduce muzzle rise without causing too much downward thrust is threaded and plugged top holes. That way you only use the minimum amount of down thrust to spot shots. I'm working on a more efficient port design in combination with threaded and plugged top holes for those shooting light weight hard kicking magnums. I'm going to try a few more minor tweaks on the port design to see if anything is left on the table but once that is figured out I'll be making self timed nitrided brake in the new design. I'll do them in a tuner version as well. I also intend to make a titanium tuner version in the .935" diameter to match up well with Sendero contour barrels. The self timed brake will be titanium and the weight will be stainless. In my video, someone else posted on the previous page, you can see my Beast brake runs about 14" of travel compared to 66" plus for no brake (max travel on the sled is 66"). If none of new tweaks improve things the new brake will be 12-13". Nothing I've seen or tested will touch it for pure recoil reduction, and I've tested nearly all of the top brakes including several that claim near 80% recoil reduction (which they don't come close to on magnums).
