I also have a Killer Innovation Brake on my Grendel.
I have a Surefire Brake too. That's on my 308 Savage for long distance shooting.
I have a Harrell (?) I think that's the name, too.
I guess it just depends how much money you want to spend. $25 to $225 plus install.

For bigger diameter barrels, I really like the Seekins Precision brake.
The Seekins on my carbon .300 wm.

Google precision rifle blog and see the results of an extensive test and comparison of 20 of the top muzzle brakes made.......You may find the results depressing Camp................buddy of mine bought the one that did the best in all tests, but its ugly to me, but very, very effective.Thx for this blog I was wanting to do some research for a brake on my rifle.

I have a factory brake on my .308 and it made it so loud I just put the thread protector on. Are all brakes pretty loud like that?yes brakes are extremely loud.
Post by: BULLBLASTER on August 01, 2016, 12:25:23 PM
^yeah what justinc said, we have a pretty similar rifle and same seekins brake on same barrel.. Works very well for me! Haven't touched her off unplugged but shouldn't ring the shooters ears to bad. Also getting an APA micro *censored* on a sporting contour, heard lots of great things.I'd strongly reccomend not shooting at all without ear protection. :twocents:
I've got a DE brake on my run and like it well enough.

At the range they are loud, but I have shot out in the field without protection and to tell you the truth I have never even noticed it :dunno:

:yeah:
Loud at the range, but when shooting at an animal I never notice it.
Last season's Deer at 200 yards I still heard the bullet impact the deer.

I have breaks on almost every rifle I own. They are very effective at reducing recoil and an absolute must if you are going to spot your own shots at longer ranges. But all that energy reduction has to go somewhere. Breaks exhaust gases (and noise) typically laterally which means the level of noise exposure to the shooter (and those around you) increases by orders of magnitude. You may not perceive the sound of a gunshot in a hunting situation, but make no mistake, your auditory nerve hears it loud and clear and measurable hearing loss will be the result over time. I always carry earplugs on a lanyard around my neck when hunting, and recommend anyone using a break also do so.
As for breaks I like - the American Precision Arms LB, Darrel Holland Radial Baffle and Benchmark Miller are all very effective.

Suppressors anyone?If they weren't such a hassle to get ahold of I'd have at least one. Recoil reduction like a break and hearing safe! Too bad they are worse than the evil black guns in our governments eyes...

I think it will get easier over time and now you can get them without LEO signoff. I've shot in countries that we consider anti gun where if you weren't shooting suppressed you were a jerk.

Until I bought my first one, I thought it was this big hassle also, but once I actually went and talked to a dealer I found out it really wasn't that big of a hassle at all and the worst part was going to be paying for everything upfront, including the $200 tax stamp, then waiting 6-12 months before I get to use it.
Honestly, the worst part about the whole process is the waiting and I'd like to tell you "the wait" gets easier with every suppressor you purchase after the first one, but I'd be lying because the wait NEVER gets any easier, it sucks just as much on the first one as it does on the 6th one.

Very informative and intelligent post - except for not knowing how to spell brake. It sucks that almost all your rifles are broken! :chuckle:
