Big call, but i would say i have certainly re-written the book on what results can be expected from a compact, highly efficient muzzle brake design - without having to resort to running really steep port angles like 20 - 30 degrees, or more. On some brakes steep angles can tend to really throw the pressure wave and shrapnel back at or very close to the shooter. (All of my brakes run less than 10 degrees on the port angles.)

For alot of shooters who have never had much to do with really good brakes before it can be a truly amazing experience to be able to fire magnum calibre rifles without having to flinch or winch under punishing recoil. As long as they follow the rules and use adequate hearing protection, then all good.

For me the best feedback is from experienced shooters who have used a ton of different brakes, either in competition use, military, or for hunting use. When you get big kudos from guys like that, then that's awesome.

Just today we are posting another small order of brakes to US military personal stationed in Europe. A megamax brake is also on it's way to a customer in Lithuania.
This morning i got an email from another happy customer in New Mexico with the usual " the brake is awesome...... thanks for everything,,, etc. etc" message, and some pics and video of him shooting it. Great stuff. When you send brakes to the US it is like selling ice to eskimos !

Last week we sent some good orders of brakes to gunsmiths and customers in Aussie, and every week there are brakes going out to someone overseas. In fact i have been so busy with trying to keep up with production, hence i haven't really had to push the brakes much on here, and haven't done any you-tube updates for ages. Though it might be time to do that soon as there have been a few additions to the product line in the last year or so. Cheers.

I have found many 20-30 degree brakes to be much more comfortable to shoot than radial or straight ported ''artillery'' style brakes. Worst ever being a trg brake, I thought my eyes dropped out of my head. And that was only on a .308!
