I have been shooting the 338 lapua for a while in stock form then later added a Lilja barrel but kept the stock muzzle brake. I just found out a week or so ago that APA American Precision Arms in Ga was developing a new brake called the Gen II Fat Ba$tard. Unlike others that requires shims and other such things to "time" the ports the new GEN II has a built in locking ring to allow it to be adjusted any way you want.
I just got it in today and it looks great. I didn't even have time to mount it but did snap a few pics. The round next to it is a 223 62gr for reference. APA says the difference in recoil over the factory Savage brake is huge. I hope to get it mounted and shoot this weekend. Ill report back after I shoot it and since I keep a shooters log I am interested in seeing of POI changes as well.
I have one of their standard Gen I fat Ba$tart on a 270 Win and liked it so I expect this to be nice too. Here is a link to their muzzle brakes and one thing I like as a georgia native is that they are made in GA not China.
