Muzzle devices are wear items. Wear and effect on performance would depend on design, materials, round count and barrel length. What that formula specifically measures on a particular brake I have no idea. I probably wouldn't try to save a buck buying one from a guy who used it on a select fire SBR with 30k rounds through it, but from average Joe AR absent boogered threads I'd think it would be fine.

Homework and balancing compromises to select the muzzle device that best fits the purpose is the important part. Trying to save a buck on a muzzle device that isn't the one you really want isn't the way to go...

Happy brake hunting.
