Most effective muzzle brake

The loudness is not magnified but redirected and when fired out in the open is not much different than a bare muzzle which is very loud to start with.
I have been doing this radial brake for light hunting rifles for many years now. I get a lot of repeat customers and referred customers for it. They seem to quite like it.
I do it in stainless only and it can be left shiny or blasted a matte finish...
This is on a very light barrel. PM me if this interests you.

Effective and Loud go hand and hand with muzzle breaks.... there is a choice of noise direction but that’s about all.
For what it’s work the “Big Bastard” breaks are some of the best rated for recoil reduction and as a bonus are collier threaded down you can pop them off if needed, say for at the range sighting in.

So sorry my auto correct isn’t on par for you...
And by your logic a suppressor doesn’t make the sound blast quieter just redirects it.... yes it redirects it through multiple baffles and makes the sound quieter outside of those baffles...
Sorry but that is a very naive answer... as yes muzzle “brakes” do make it loader for the shooter and any spotters or others around you. Normally I don’t worry to much about downrange noise because the projectile tends to be a larger nuesense.
https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/08/07/muzzle-brakes-sound-test/ to the initial poster, read this it will really explain practical noise and give a real answer about what your asking.
Perhaps he is under the mistaken impression that the .338 Fed is a heavy recoiling cartridge, which it is not, and pretty much anyone can handle one... "and" I do not make money in suggesting it is not required...
I have many rifles and not one with a brake. I'm just thinking that a 5.5 lb Montana shooting 210 grain bullets might be a touch unpleasant. I'm still up in the air about the whole thing. Interesting brake guntech. If I go the break route I'll certainly consider one of yours. Thanks guys

I found the factory brake on me former BOSS equipped .375 H&H Browning Stalker to be nicely effective in 2 ways.
1) The system took the recoil down to decent levels. (Not to mention the barrel tuning feature..which worked well.)
2) The brake worked wonders for keepin' other folks well over from my bench at the public range. Nice to have breathin' space at times.

You could have chosen to read "any healthy adult..." A guy who just had shoulder surgery, and a guy with no arms might have difficulty with the .338 Fed... the brake may or may not help these two.
Sorry about the bum shoulder... I am heading for a knee replacement or two in the fairly near future... sucks when the machine starts breaking down.

The radial brake might not be a great idea if you shoot prone at all, they kick up dust and debris like you wouldn't believe.
