[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1641312, member: 2736"] Weight will only throw the rifles balance off and add unnecessary weight to a hunting rifle. A good muzzle brake will reduce recoil far more that the same weight does. I looked through our muzzle brake test and found this. A 8.0 pound 338 recoil has 49.2 ft/lbs recoil with factory loads. Adding .5 pounds will reduce the recoil to 46.4 ft/lbs of recoil. (A difference of 2.8 ft/lbs. Our test brake reduced recoil to 15.0 ft/lbs recoil for a total reduction/removal of 34.2 ft/lbs with the brake. So going from 49.2 lbs of recoil to 15.0 recoil makes a muzzle brake a much better option in my opinion. All muzzle brakes are not equal, but they will all reduce the recoil more that 2.8 lbs. Couldn't find the Video for this test but here is a similar test using a 338/378 in a heavier rifle that will show the improvement. [MEDIA=youtube]327beJrl5vU[/MEDIA] J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
