[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 151506, member: 8"] Some of the decision is based upon the application. Not all brakes are created equal. For a large caliber hunting rifle shot prone then a solid bottom brake is helpful. For small calibers and bench shooting then the holes all around is fine. Here is the brake I use on my 7mm AM. This gun burns over 100 grains of powder and is shot in the dirt, so the solid bottom brake is necessary for spotting your hits (I try not to need to spot my misses [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). It is made by Shawn Carlock Of Defensive Edge in Idaho.

Even when shot in the dirt it is OK because there isn't so much gas to escape and blow sand and dirt in your face.
