It's only about 20%. If you think the Shrewd brake is better than the Vais, bring it over and we can test it on my recoil fixture.
I was amazed how much difference that factory brake made.

Have you tested the Armalite brake? or the Holland? By "feel" the Armalite is the most effective I have ever used but the back blast is pretty strong, particularly in the 50 BMG. It makes a 338 Lapua feel like a 243.
