terminator muzzle brakes??

I just finished installing a Terminator brake a few minutes ago. (Customer supplied)

Because of the internal shape they are a pain to bore out for correct bullet clearance. They don't work any better than many others... it's a 'cool look' thing.

Not my favorite brake.
 
My current break is the stock one and cant stand it anything will be better then what I have the holes on the bottom of my brake blow dirt everywhere and make my barrel jump hope the new one helps.

I thought about purchasing Terminator muzzle brake and I couldn't find who sells them in Canada. My recommendation to you is Fat Bastard Brakes. It looks much similar and the sponsor in this forum do sell for cheaper.

Confusing sentence...?
Side ported brakes require indexing. Top ported brakes require indexing. Radially ported brakes do not. What was your "old" brake?
 
I was doing some reading and one thing made sense to me, at least at first glance. In a brake, the larger the surface area that the expelled gas can work against i.e. the ports/gills, the greater the felt braking effect will be. I don't know if anyone has done any conclusive testing between the various shapes of brakes but it would be something interesting to read about.

Basically something with thin ports, then a wider gill brake, then something even wider like those on the barret .50s.
 
I recently ordered a Painkiller brake from Kirby Allen. Everyone I speak to always mentions his stuff. I spoke to a lot of people at SHOT specializing in long range shooting/hunting and his name kept coming up.

I won't be getting it for a while as he is still catching up on orders.
 
Surface area makes a difference. The painkiller on my 7mm Kraken (Dakota sized case - 180 Hybrid over 80gr. of Retumbo @ 3180 fps) kicked less than John's 6.5x284 with a JEC on it. If you watch the second video, the 3 port painkiller is the second one from the right, next to the Terminator. It isn't just surface area though, it's the direction the gas is vented as well. A brake that vents rearward will be more effective than one that vents to the sides, all things being equal. The difference between my painkiller and my Badger FTE is night and day.

There are numerous tests on the web comparing brakes. Most are for ARs, but the results would be similar for larger calibers for brakes of similar design.

I'm not sure about how the statement "They don't work any beter than many other...it's a 'cool look' thing." applies to this product. There is a pretty demonstrative series of test videos on thier website that shows thier effectivness against several other brakes. Maybe not some of the more commonly respected brakes, but non the less, it is very effective. APA has the same sort of video on thier site.

Maybe you could share what your favourite brake is?

It is a direct knock of of the APA Fat Bastard which my smith is putting on my new 338 Improved. I was impressed by the recoil reduction.
 
I was the same as you. I was going for Terminator. At first, I was going for Fat Bastard.

After more reviews and I decided that my best choice is J E Custom. I prefer side ported muzzle brake. I already ordered three J E Custom Tuned muzzle brakes.
