I have 300WM, I love the rifle and the recoil doesn't bother me. However every time I shoot I have to get re-settle the rifle since it jumps so much, then I have to shift around to find the target again. Is there a muzzle break that is better then the rest? or are they all the same? Most importantly, what do they do to the rifles accuracy? How much are they to install? It would be kind of nice to see the tartet as it's being hit! Is this to much to expect? Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!
Muzzle break???

Some brakes claim 35-40% less recoil and I would have to say some do this.
you will need to get set up each time even with a break it will still slide on the bag for you just not as hard.
About 100-150 for a gunsmith to thread your barrel, and you can spend 100-400 and up on a break this is my experience maybe others will have different $$ figures
I have never found accuracy to get better or worse with a brake, i did find the POI changed a bit on some.
Other option is a magna port.

Vince,
It is a "brake" not a "break"...
There are many and the majority work quite well. You can have the tactical look or some slimmer looking brakes. They require accurately threading the barrel and fitting the brake.
I have installed hundreds over the years.. Click on my name and send me an email and I will send you some pictures.

You gotta see these. My pal Donny had one of their Vaporizer brakes on a 300WSM gopher slayer he had built and it has less recoil than a 223. I was slaying gophers through a 22 power NSX and watching the guts fly no problem.
There is an excellent video on this site that demonstrates the effectiveness of a muzzle brake.
If you aren't competing, brakes can be pretty cool

I have found the most effective style to be the gill style. Miculek is the least expensive brake that works. Install is critical as is sizing the bore. 20thou over bullet cal seems to work the best.
With a bit more rifle weight, you should be able to spot your own hits beyond 400yds. Rifle movement will be greatly reduced as will bouncing.
I love using brakes on hard kicking rifles however, the noise gets bothersome after a while.

Since the point of a muzzlebrake is to redirect gases back or to the side, and sound is pretty much equivalent to gas here, less loud on the firing line would be an indicator of less effective at reducing recoil. If you take off the brake there will be even less noise, and even more recoil.
