[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 86758, member: 8947"] If you mean the 90 deg brake like a KDF style, then yes, there are much better alternatives. The Holland, or Serbu brakes are what I called baffled brakes. Each port also acts as a 'sail' allowing the gases to push the rifle forward. So what you are looking for, gas diversion and forward arrest, will come from these baffle style brakes. My favorite is the Micaluk AR15 style. Wider then the Hollands, they work on the same principle. The wider brake just allows the gas to do more work. Well priced too. I use mine on a 7RM light hunting rifle and can spot my own shots. A rear venting brake will do a little more work then a 90deg baffle brake. You could always have one made. Just set up the bore as any other but mill the ports angled backwards. Unless, you make a much wider brake, not sure how much more recoil reduction you will get. Even a Lapua doesn't have much gas volume when compared to a BMG. It is this volume of gas at pressure that will do the work. If you do figure out a way to make a rear baffle brake, please post your results. Would be interested in the recoil reduction vs muzzle blast. Jerry [/QUOTE]
