[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1814638, member: 13110"] I have numerous videos on my YouTube channel that show the performance of many of the brakes mentioned here on a 300wm and 338 Lapua. None of them are more effective at reducing recoil then mine. It's not just an opinion it's proven. A added benefit to my brakes is they also work to combat muzzle rise by design. That is not the case with the Terminator brakes or the first couple version of the APA brakes. Area 419 magically incorporated some of this principle into their brakes when they were introduced less than a year after mine. Just because a brake is bigger it doesn't mean it's more effective. The Fat B@$terd isn't a very effective brake but it's big and people are sold on the bigger is better theory. Like the example of the person buying one to put on a 6.5CM. Little does he know that one of those brakes on a 6.5CM is less effective then a brake smaller and designed more specifically to work on calibers of similar size. Port design, size, and shape are way more important than people realize and very few muzzle brake companies actually do much, if anything, to test that. They throw out a design and roll with it rather than trying to better it by testing. For example: APA hasn't updated their principle brake design since they originally came out with it over 10 years ago and to be honest neither has Terminator. Adding top ports in their latest version doesn't change the amount of recoil it reduces, it only reduces the muzzle rise. I have 6 or 7 new designs sitting on my bench waiting for me to have time to test them. That will be this spring some time and it will be on numerous new calibers as well. I will also test quite a few more of my competitors brakes.

My opinion of brakes is that if I want to deal with the additional blast/concussion of a brake I want the least amount of recoil possible and if it controls muzzle rise to help spot shots then all the better.
