[QUOTE="Capt Kurt, post: 560273, member: 20136"] The rule of thumb. For maximun braking it comes down to size/surface area. The more surface area the better the braking action. Brakes that are properly engineered can reduce recoil to allow for a pain free day of shooting & accurate shooting. Multi chambered brakes are what you want to look for. Stay away from so called brakes that look like someone took a drill bit a drilled a lot of holes, these are better known as compensators and do little for recoil but help in muzzle rise. The best brakes on the market are the v-block brakes. They are designed around the barrett 50 cal. The Armalite AR30 has the best brake on the market for all Magnum calibers like the 300win mag & 338 lapua. With the 308 and 30-06 Ben Cooley Maxi. One of the newest is called the Big Chubby by Ratworxusa.com. All of these brakes come with various thread patterns and should be purchased before you thread your barrel so it can be turned to properly index the brake without the need of a indexing nut for a clean look.
