[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1775971, member: 13110"] I could post a video from a customer of mine shooting a 416 muzzleloader with 130grs of BH209 and a 340gr Cutting Edge bullet going 2600+fps too. Or I could load up some rounds for my 460 Weatherby with 300's going 3200fps and do a video. Videos like that don't prove any kind of effectiveness compared to other brakes. It helps push an opinion and nothing more. I've seen plenty of videos like that from all kinds of people that sell brakes, even vendors on here, to try and sell their products. In reality when you compare them side by side to other brakes on something that can be measured most of them just can't hang with the best brakes on the market. Also I will tell you a 4 port, at the 100+gr powder charges used in many of the muzzleloaders, will give up performance to a 5 port. I've proven that many times on calibers that use even less powder. The problem with so many companies making brakes is they don't fully test them except to just shoot them and say "that one feels better". I have a .45 cal muzzleloader built on a single shot Remington with a Brux barrel in a Game Scout stock. I also have a .416 Rem, .458 Lott in addition to the .460 Weatherby so I'm fairly well versed in big calibers. I've shot quite a few bears and elk with those bigger calibers and yes they do kick with crappy or no brakes. [/QUOTE]
