[QUOTE="dah605, post: 1335641, member: 63391"] I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND a radial brake like the Vias, especially if shooting prone in a dusty area. It might be good for relatively even recoil reduction, but if it kicks up a cloud of dust, you won't see your impact. I use the [URL='http://www.piercisionrifles.com/brakes/']Muscle Brake [/URL]on my 300WinMag and I have a [URL='http://www.area419.com/product/hellfire_st/']Hellfire[/URL] brake ([URL='http://www.area419.com/product/sidewinder/']Sidewinder[/URL] is the smaller version) waiting for my 338 Lapua AI. The [URL='https://christensenarms.com/product/stainless-side-baffle-brake/']Christensen Arms Slayer[/URL] brake is a great option that is tunable for muzzle rise. From the perspective of caliber, I'm a fan of the 7mm Rem Mag and the 300 Win Mag as good all-round hunting calibers. I prefer heavy for caliber bullets--Berger 195 EOL in the 7mm Rem Mag and Berger 215 Hybrid in the 300 Win Mag. In 7mm Rem Mag, I have a light weight (7.8lbs total weight) rifle that I can spot shots all day long. It is sending the 195 bullets at 2700fps, which gives me an effective range of upwards of 900 yards for hunting (keeping the velocity above 1800fps for expansion). I picked a lower accuracy node to keep the recoil to a minimum. It has a Pierce Ti brake on it. I mention it to provide an example of being able to make adjustments for lighter weight. -David [/QUOTE]
