[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 56064, member: 10"] Raider1v1, The JP is a totally side ported brake meaning it only vents out both sides so there will be no ground blast to worry about. Side effects of the more efficent brakes like the Holland and JP are that they can tend to produce much more of a shock wave felt by the shooter and bystandards. In big magnum rounds, this shock wave can sometimes be discribed as a slap to your face and forhead. I have even had a few customers have this distract them so much that they could not accurately shoot their rifles even though the recoil was basically gone. Another factor that most do not think about is the these brakes on large rounds are hell on windows when fired in close proximity to them. Such as over car or truck hoods and near house or shop windows. I had a custom pick up a 30-378 Wby that I fitted with a Holland QD brake. I gave him the standard once thorugh of what not to do with the braked rifle such as shoot it over the hood of his truck. He called me a week later and said I really knew my S___! He never believed a brake would hurt a truck windshield but he said from teh spider all over the passenger side of the windshield, obviously they can. We really have no need to be shooting off a vehicle hood anyway!! Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
