[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1840744, member: 93895"] One of my 6.5 creedmoors has a Mack's brake on a 26" bbl. I bought another 26" 6.5 creedmoor and shot some of the same ammo thru both. I'm not recoil sensitive but it wasn't much difference between the two. I'm sure that the difference would probably be more noticeable in a 6.5 prc. I'm sure I would notice a large difference braked vs unbraked in my big 30 cal & 7mm stw but I haven't shot those un braked. I have two 26" 7mm rm, one braked & one unbraked. While there is a difference between the two, I don't find myself thinking that I wish I had a brake on the unbraked 7mm rm. I'm guessing the 6.5 prc is going to have recoil similar to a 308 Winchester. Glad to have brakes on my big guns. It seems more optional when unbraked recoil gets under 18lbs or so. [/QUOTE]
