Suppressors Omega300 anchor brake

I took mine off and replaced it with a flat cap before ever shooting it. Without it my 7mag recoils about the same as when it had a 3 port muzzle brake. The omega also really took the kick out of my lightweight .270 win.
I have an Omega and shoot it with a flat cap. With that said I also have a Harvester which has a permanent anchor brake. I shot it back to back on my 24” barreled 6.5 Creedmoor with a TBAC Ultra 7. I honestly could not tell a difference in perceived recoil.
It does to me. I shoot very stiff 308 178 gr loads from a 17" barrel and it's night and day difference. It's still noticeable with 6.5 running through it but not noticeable shooting my ar through it.
From what I have read is how much, or any, it helps is dependent on the amount of gas that leaves the can and hits the brake. The more gas, the more it works. Some short action cartridges with longer barrels, there isn't gonna be a big rush of gas out the front, its going to have expanded in the barrel and the can, so the brake won't be as effective. But with shorter barrels or long action cartridges with more powder burning, there is much more gas hitting the brake, making it more effective. Again, this is just my understanding of it and please excuse my very technical explanation there...
