Muzzle brakes

[Full time hunter]

I have a Ruger RPR in 6.5 CM that has a factory muzzle brake. I have it set up for 140 grain ELDM's. It shoots fantastic. I use it for long range prairie dogs. I get more muzzle jump than I like and loose sight picture momentarily. I know I can go with a lighter load but don't want to do that. Any suggestions on a better muzzle brake?

Add M-lock rail weights to the chassis. MDT make cool ones. I also recommend an Aera 419 Hellfire 3 or 4 port brake.

I use an APA Gen 3 on my 6.5 Creedmoor (Sako A7 with sporter weight barrel) and watch the rounds impact the target through the scope at magnification.

Gen 3 Self Timing Muzzle Brakes

Gen 3 Self Timing Muzzle Brakes At APA we are known for solving big recoil problems, not small ones. For years competitive shooters have asked us to develop a brake for the off-hand, run-and-gun, "Gas Gun" competitor. We found this little recoil problem was a little more dynamic than...

A friend of mine put the Eric Cortina tuner brake on his. "EC Tuner Brake". Said it was night and day difference in muzzle jump…along with being able to tune his load. I've shot with him and the rifle shoots very well.

I own different MBs, including EC tuner, but most have been from Nathan
(https://muzzlebrakesandmore.com/muzzle-brakes) and have served me well on various rifles/cartridges. As @Reelamin noted, search, and you'll be overwhelmed with the results. You can start with the similar threads below your thread. Good luck!

For self-timing brakes I use APA and EC Tuner (Erik Cortina) brakes.
There is a lot of other brakes out there, with several more really good ones.
For a timed brake (One that a gunsmith puts on) my hands down favorite is Holland's Radial Baffle Brake.
Holland's on short barrels:
15.75" 308 Win with 155's:
15.9" 22GT with 88's (extremely light one hand hold)
17" 280AI with 140's at 2960 fps:
15" 6.5x47 Lapua with 130's (extremely light one hand hold)
18" 26 Nosler with 147's at 3047 fps (slo-mo)
18" 7mm Dakota Shooting 175's at 2900 fps (Boy with a light hold)

I have several brakes from Axisworks that awesome. I have the 5 port self timer on my son's light-ish 7mm-08 and recoil is greatly reduced.

I use an Ultradyne Apollo Max
Works great. Other than that, try an EC Tuner.

Terminator brakes from Australia:



I started using these brakes for rifles chambered for the .375 CheyTac and the .37 XC. Yes they are a little more expensive but they work when I need the best recoil reduction and less muzzle rise.

Enjoy!
