I had an experience with a friend a while back that completely sold me on the JP Enterprises Howitzer muzzle brake. I chuckled because it sure isn't pretty. Buddy has a Savage 300WM very similar to mine except his has one of these brakes and mine has none. We each shot them both side by side. I can honestly say the recoil was no more than my 223 that I was also shooting. I could easily shoot his 300 all day with zero fatigue. He also has this same brake on a JP Custom AR target rifle I shot. It is like shooting a 22lr. The barrel simply does not move and there is no recoil. This is not the prettiest brakes out there but it is the most effective I have ever shot. I am sold, if I ever do get a brake, this will be the one. As with most any brake, you better be wearing ear protection!
