[QUOTE="hereinaz, post: 3042166, member: 110606"] It's amazing the way brake technology has advanced. Once the bullet leaves the barrel it's so nice to be able to spot shots. The brakes practically stop recoil. It’s something to consider, because recoil starts before the bullet leaves the barrel, so the shooter has to manage it for the fraction of a second. The bullet accelerates forward faster, but it’s pushing the rifle back until it leaves the bore. The rifle already has the majority of momentum when the bullet leaves the bore. The rifle is moving rearward with the momentum from the bullet pushing off, then when the bullet pops out, the gasses push forward on the brake ports as it escapes. The flow of gasses pushing on the ports is what stops the rifle moving rearward. Just like the bullet is up to full speed when it leaves the barrel, the rifle is nearly up to full speed too. The gasses leaving the barrel don’t impart much energy to the total recoil of the rifle if I recall the science correctly. [/QUOTE]
