[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1703211, member: 70559"] For my entertainment and "research" I have actually had to make holes in the lower sides to stop the rifle from going down when fired. I want one that does not move up, down or sideways. I like to be able to see 100 yard impact even when the scope is set on 20X. I found "thin" wall brakes are not as effective as "thick" wall brakes. Bigger cartridges can certainly make good use of more ports. I made a four port brake for a .257 Wea. [B]December 24, 2014[/B] Took the slide to the range. The temp was about 45 degrees and it was raining. The slide was wet. With no brake on the unscoped Savage .257 Wea (about five pounds thirteen ounces) the three shots slid the rifle [B]72 inches[/B]. The aluminum brake with [B]four[/B] slots .800” long and .312” wide reduced the travel on the wet slide to [B]12 9/16”[/B] for three shots. I cut off the brake right in front of the third slot and fired the rifle three more times. The travel was [B]14 13/16” [/B]for three shots. It looks like more slots are better than fewer. With the forth slot gone there was almost 20% more free recoil travel. [/QUOTE]
