muzzle brake for 300 win mag

[tommyc279]

I am staring my first true custom build and looking for a little advice. The rifle is starting a Pierce custom action L/A repeater, this will be placed in a Accuracy International AX chassis. The rifle will be a 300 win mag with a Broughton 26" 1-10 twist with 5C rifling. The gun will have a 30 moa with 30mm TPS rings and Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20 with TMR. I am beginning long range tactical competition and I am looking for a muzzle brake which will aloow me to see my splash at long ranges. I am also trying to decide which reamer I should use to shoot factory 190's and reloaded 208's

You'll get a hundred answers to this.

Check out the video's for the Muscle Brake or APA Little Bastard. Very similar design and the video's are pretty convincing. I have a Little Bastard going on my current build.

+1 on APA brake. Very effective.
Second choice would be Badger FTE. That is what I have on mine.

Ive had both a surefire 762SAL/RE and Badger FTE, both brakes worked well. The SF was a tad lighter if youre concerned about weight.

The fat bastard looks good.

you can also try out a Ross Schuler brake ($45 shipped), works great, I have his brakes on my 450 Bushmaster, .264 LBC and 6.5 Creedmoor, little video of his brake on his .338 Edge pistol:

I got a Fat Bastard for my dad's TRG 42 at Christmas and he told me last night that I'm going to have to shoot it because it's like a new gun.

I have the Little Bastard on my TRG 22 and it's pretty awesome too.

Neither are going to make friends with neighbors though at the range.

Do you hate the people you shoot with? If you really can't handle the recoil then get a can. My 300 win sits in a Mcree, 26" Rock, NXS 5.5-22. If you are behind the guy properly you shouldn't have any issues staying on glass. I feel brakes are for guys who refuse to get straight behind the guy and dislike others around them.

I have always hade great luck with the JP brakes. There are a lot of other great brakes out there too, but the JP brakes work great if you want to see where you hit with a 300WM.

I just put one of Ross's brakes on my 300 win mag. Great brake! Very effective and looks good.
