I too am really excited about the Heathen muzzle brake from Insite. Before I talked to Harley and Andy at Insite I was sold on getting an APA Fat Bastard brake, as the recoil tests done on online show that they have the best recoil reduction, but what I did not take into account was the sound wave and the dust and how much that also bothers you after shooting for an hour or two. I looked at all the tests and read tons of reviews and in the end, the Insite one seems to take the best ideas and put them all into one brake. Big bonus it is right in my back yard in AB here too!
The Insite guys are spinning up 2 different caliber barrels for me right now, (a .300 Norma Mag and a 6mm slr) and will get the full size and medium size on them, and looking forward to testing them out against the ones I already own. As another plus the guys at Insite told me if I wasn't 100% satisfied with it, they'd take it back, no questions asked, how great is that, and nothing to lose.
From what I have come to realize is that the angle of the ports direct the gases and impulse to the side or back, and the angle gills beat the shooter up, even while reducing the recoil. The Heathen gills are at 90 degrees to the barrel and shoot the impulse to the sides, maybe not so great for guys shooting with you, but definitely much easier on the shooter, especially for you if you are going to be doing precision stuff.
Hope that helps...
