.375 JDJ barrel question

[pacecars]

I just bought a 14” TC Custom Shop barrel in .375 JDJ and was wondering if it is worth it to have it either Magnaported or the SSK Arrestor muzzle brake installed?

I don’t have experience with either of those, but I did have a different style of integral brake on my 375 JDJ, and I don’t think I’d want to have one without some sort of brake with the recoil that cartridge produces.

You might have to shoot it and see how the recoil is. I would not want to shoot my 358 jdj , with a max load of reloder 7 and a 200 grain Hornady ,without my arrestor brake.

Mine was magna ported and manageable. I would go with one or the other.

Upper-end loads will be brutal without some sort of recoil-reduction. I've always liked the looks of Mag-na-Porting versus the addition of an external brake, but that is just personal preference.

I've had 338, 358, & .375jdj's, along with a few 45/70's in various configuartions, both ported & non ported.

Magnaporting looks better than the big clunky brakes, and helped reduce muzzle flip, but didnt seem to diminish straight back recoil as much.

I have the Arrestor brakes by SSK on a couple of my boomers, and they helped reduce both flip AND straight back recoil, but also noticeably increased muzzle blast & the shockwave you feel. (painfully loud!)
