Looking for the hands down, most recoil reducing brake with least exhaust blowback on the shooter.
Everything keeps me coming back to the 419 HF.

300wm Muzzle Brake. Eff everyone standing next to me.

Also look at the APA Gen3 Fat Bastard ... the guys at the next bench will hate you, but it's terrific for recoil reduction and the adjustable top-ports are great to stop muzzle jump.
Get a silencer and stop being a douchebag
Supressors on anything more than a 22,or sub 9mm is a waste. They don't do much of shit.
Yeah. I said it.
APA all are great at reducing recoil and moving the shooter next to you down the line. Gen3s are two nuts for timing, no crush washers, so is the hellfire.
Haven't used a couple of those mentioned above.
I will say that the JP Recoil Eliminator is the best I've ever been behind insofar as recoil reduction, and annoying those on either side- but they're ugly as fuck.
Was just having this conversation with a customer that came in a couple of days ago. Flame suit on, but we were both of the opinion that this is part of the game when shooting at a public range. I do everything I can to be courteous as far as timing shots and letting those next to me know they're going to get blasted- but with some chamberings brakes aren't optional unless you want to go home with a lot of pain at after 50-100 rounds.

I use the Gen 3 Lil Bastard, and it tames my 300 PRC quite well.
Check out the brakes over at stoprecoil.com. Good people and they support our sport. Brakes work pretty good too.
Myself and others have been talking. You been listening pal?
I head there's a bipod that works well for managing recoil too.
a419 hellfire (match is better) or sidewinder
APA either size
PVA
Insite heathen
pick whichever you like the looks of most
pick the diamer/number of ports
pick A419 if you run tbac or other cans sometimes
doesn't need to be more complicated than that

Are you insinuating that a stock has no effect on felt recoil?
If you preload your bipod, it does help manage recoil as well. You don't buy a 300 WM thinking it's going to feel like a 243, do you?
In the OP, he did ask for a brake, but wants recoil reduction with less blowback... Hence my stock recommendation. ALL brakes blast, one way or the other. Just food for thought was all.
you're new here so we'll let it slide. but you've missed some epic threads over the years
Don't let it slide on account of me being new to a forum. If I said something wrong, call it. I wouldn't have it any other way.
nah you're all good.
the post you quoted was a joke referencing that youtube video
was quite an entertaining thread a few years ago
Insite Heathen.
Does an excellent job with recoil reduction, while mitigating some of the concussion/blast back to the shooter. The main port is perpendicular to the bore, sending gasses that way and disrupting the flow of gasses from the front two ports from reaching the shooter.
Look at brake geometry to try and assess how much concussion it will send back to the shooter. Port geometry that's angled backwards, while very effective at reducing recoil, will be sending blast back to the shooter (A419, APA, etc.).
No muzzle brake will completely prevent concussion going back to shooter (or even close to it), but some are better than others. Or get a suppressor. The answer is always a suppressor.

I’ll sum everything up for you.
APA and Area 419 reduce the most recoil, but send more blast to the shooter (with the exception of the hellfire match)
Insite and PVA reduce nearly as much recoil as the others, but don’t blast the shooter nearly as bad.
The ultimate in not giving yourself tinitus/mild TBI’s is to get a suppressor.
Stock design can help control recoil, but will do nothing to reduce the force (unless one stock weighs more than the other).
The bipod thing was a joke.
I use the
Ultradyne Apollo LR Compensator Muzzle Brake with Timing Nut 5/8"-24 Thread Stainless Steel Nitride.
$140 on Midway USA. very little recoil, can stay on target to see @ 1 km +. Anything or person beside you won't be happy but she gets it done right.
If you want a great all around brake.
JP Recoil Eliminator Tank Break.
1. Obnoxious af to bystanders.
2. Pretty good recoil reduction.
3. Great at keeping you on target.
4. Sideways blast, not rearward blast.
It's a great all arounder.

I'm disappointed at some of the replies in this thread. Is it MANLY to disrespect a fellow gunner, newbie or not, who just wants help in the form of your experience and advice? We need to respect each other; there are plenty of anti-gunners on the other side, who definitely don't deserve our respect and there are more of them than us, so why don't we save our angst for them?
I put a Harrell's Precision on one of my 300RUM and have been highly pleased with it. Significantly cut down on recoil, though I dont have a fancy sled to quantify it.
I had a Ross Shuler 3 port on a 20" 308. I had to use double hearing protection or it would give me a headache after about twenty rounds. Ended up turning it into a thread protector.
Anyway, I was out at the range one day all by my lonesome and a guy shows up and starts setting up camp right beside me.
I informed him that my rifle was a little noisy and he may want to take the next bench over. He disregarded the warning and set up anyway.
First shot wiped his table clean of all the light objects and blew his shirt up. Then he went to cussing me and moving his stuff. I tried to tell him.
I use assassin brakes now. Better recoil reduction and way less noise on the shooter.
I don't know if they make one for your rifle but I have a NERO556 NERO 556, Incone, from Walker Defense Research LLC ($185). It eliminates barrel rise and directs gases to the sides. Fancy 3d printed to create what machining cant. Check it out you might like it.

If the blast is to either side, I don't give a flip. Once had an instructor, "Chief", who didn't feel the same, since he was back in the zone. He didn't hesitate to dress me down!
