Recoil management

[SAWMAN]

A brake on a 300Win Mag will cause hearing damage. Ear plugs AND muffs are highly reccomended. If the brake has any holes except pointing downrange (linear brake) you will expierance an elevated db level . . AND . . an elevated concussion/overpressure level.
Most,if not all brakes that actually work,and work good,are not the cool looking ones. IMO the two that are the very best are the JP Recoil Eliminator and the Precision Armament M4-72.
I have both . . . they are loud . . . BUT THEY WORK. --- SAWMAN
ADDED: Your rifle will need to be threaded 5/8X24.

What SAWMAN said. Loud!!! Mine is a lot worse if not directly behind the rifle. I'm investing in the electronic ear protection that goes in your ear. I have electronic muffs but don't like them for hunting.

When I shot my deer this year my buddy was to my left about 10 feet and did not cover his ears. His ears were ringing for several hours after the shot.

I use ear plugs and muffs at the range

What is the diameter of your barrel? I have 2 rifles with brakes installed on them. One is the Fat Bastard Gen 1 it is big and draws a lot of attention but also extreamly effective. The other is made by Kimber specifically for the narrow barrels on their mountain rifle.

Depending on the thread and barrel size will dictate what brake you can install. If the brake is larger than OD of your barrel a good machinist can taper it to match.

A brake with ports in an equal radius all the way around will not need to be timed and will be the easiest to install.

Vias makes a good one for sporting rifles the Fat Bastard is closer to a tactical type of brake. It has no ports on the bottom to prevent dust clouds when shooting prone.

What model and brand is your rifle?

It is a tc compass in 300 wm. So barrel is quite small. Thanks for the help. Thread is a 5/8x24.

Thank you for the suggestions. I was worried about the noise.
