[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 169588, member: 8843"] 300RUM , check your pm box asking to be able to spot your hits at 400yds out of a 10lb 300 RUM is asking alot , just getting a 200gr bullet jumping to 3000+fps is going to generate recoil that can't be taken away with a brake. The absolute best brake I have ever used was the big ugly JP brake that looks more at home on the M-1 Abrams tank than on a hunting rifle. maximum gas redirection is what makes a brake effective , a brake with large baffels that directi the gas either directly 90 deg away from the shooter or acctualy vents the gas back toward the shooter some like some of the big brakes on 50 BMG rifles do. I persoanly feel that the V-port desgine is more effective than a conventional baffel port brake all things being equal , meaning , if you have two brakes both 2" in diameter and 3" long both having 3 , 5/16" wide ports one has standard oval ports and one has a V shaped port the brake with the V-ports will have more surface area to catch and redirect the gas making it more effective, Now this is all in theory and has no real world test to back it up. If I had the funds I'd have a gun fitted with each of the brakes and rig up some way to measure recoil so we could get an accurate real world test of effectiveness. When I say that i can spot my own hits with my gun you hav to relize that this is 260 Rem caliber and in a gun that weighs around 12lbs so trying to compair that to a 10lb 300RUM is not even close to even [/QUOTE]
