I’ve been approached by countless manufacturers with offers to sponsor this website. At this point, I’m still in the red (i.e.

I recommend a balanced approach by reading other reviews, talking to shooters with hands-on experience with the equipment, looking at what the experts are using, and considering a company’s reputation and longevity.Īs a full disclaimer, my goal isn’t to make money off this website. It’s just another tool in your toolbox when researching muzzle devices. While this field test is absolutely an original, valuable tool for evaluating muzzle brakes, people shouldn’t take this as gospel.
I did put my best effort into this being as objective, precise, and unbiased as practically possible using the equipment I could afford. Keep in mind this is a field test, not a laboratory test … and I’m not claiming it’s flawless. I’ve tried to find an objective approach to quantify as many features and performance metrics as I could. – Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shootingīryan was talking about rifle sights/optics in the quote above, but it articulates my fundamental philosophy. Don’t ever assume that something is what it says without measuring it. It’ll be fun to see what comes out! About The Field TestsĭON’T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED! The bottom line is to deal in absolute fundamentals, measure them, and remove all the assumptions. Part of the motivation behind my thoroughness was in hopes that I’ll be able to buy an even better muzzle brake for my rifle 2 years from now! 😉 This field test has already been a catalyst for conversations, and I hope it ignites some innovation over the next year or two. It provides fresh insight into the competition, shows what works well, what doesn’t seem to be working, and what precision shooters are looking for.
Ultimately, I hope this test gives all manufacturers info they can use to improve their designs. If you’re wondering why I didn’t include your favorite, read the Muzzle Brake Line-Up Post. Beyond that, I simply tried to represent the wide variety of the designs that are available, and others that are widely popular on custom bolt-action rigs. All brakes used by more than 2 of the top 50 shooters in the PRS are represented ( see the data). I started by including the most popular precision rifle muzzle brakes. 338 Lapua to 50 BMG), because both of those seem to get you in a different type of product. I may do another test in the future focused on AR-15’s or large magnums (i.e. I used 4 rifles during testing, including a 6XC, 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 Win, and 300 Norma Magnum. This test focused on muzzle brakes designed for precision rifles in 6mm through 30 caliber.
I’ve already published ridiculously exhaustive details of each test, but I’ll try to sum it up in this post. My goal with this project was to equip fellow long-range shooters with as much hard data as I could reasonably gather, so they could make an informed buying decision for their application. It included several objective tests to quantify the performance of 20+ muzzle brakes designed for precision rifles in 6mm through 30 caliber. This post summarizes the eye-opening results for the massive muzzle brake field test I’ve worked on the past few months.
