[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1964986, member: 26477"] Here's a piece of advice. Use a side cut brake rather than a radial one. ( radial brakes have holes cut all around them. By using a side discharge ( one that vents on both sides) two things become more favorable. One is that you don't have to worry about scorching or burning what is below your brake.(car or truck hood for example) Two, and the most important, is barrel drop. I videoed in slow motion several long rifle barrels shooting both types of brakes and was amazed to see that each barrel shooting a radial brake pushed the barrel down upon firing, except for my 28 Nosler, which pushed it at 10 o'clock. I figured it was due to the way the barrel was threaded because the side discharge would not align like it should have. This will affect your long range accuracy . Side discharge brakes, because each side is venting gasses, acts similarly to thrust of a jet engine pushing from each side, against the other, therefore, stabilizing the barrel. I would recommend using something like the "Beast" series at a minimum and a dual flared one on magnums from. 308 on up. Good luck with your search! [/QUOTE]
