...Muzzle Brake Test...338 Lapua...
...I found his first shot without the brake to be rather humorous...
...and yes...the brake does seem to be effective...

Interesting testing methodology. At least he didn't shoot anyone...

That's Jered Joplin doing the demo.
He built a couple of long range rifles for me; great riflesmith.

I was wondering why he was on the range alone. Then I saw the first shot...

Muzzle brakes are horrible things. If you practice there is no need for one. Especially on a hunting rifle. The trick is to work your way up in caliber slowly and learn how to deal with it. If the most powerful rifle you have ever shot is a 270 and you go out and buy a 505 Gibbs, you will be in for a surprise. The ones with the most recoil, such as the Nitro Express cartridges up to 4 bore operate at low enough pressures that a muzzle brake is not going to work anyway.
