What custom company makes the best muzzle brakes (reduces most felt recoil) or is there good ones at some where like midway and then have a custom company put it on...

I am looking to get my 12" 454 re-chambered into a 460 and i can't say my 454 is a pleasure to shoot and just the thought of going bigger hurts my wrist..I have a 500S&W made by VVCG and the muzzle tamer on that makes it feel like a heavy load in my 44 contender not bad at all but as we all know no more VVCG....

If the barrel is from TC or their custom shop, they'll put on a brake for $75 from what I remember. I've got a custom shop, 350 Rem Mag barrel with their brake, and it works very well. Less barrel flip than my 260 Rem. It comes straight back a lot harder though. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's pleasant to shoot, but it's at least tolerable.

If looks aren't a huge concern, you can look at one on EA Brown's site. It looks like a howitzer/sherman tank barrel end, and supposedly reduces nearly 100% of the felt recoil. But it sure puts a big ol' knob out there on the end of your barrel. He has some others available as well, but I can't really vouch for any of them.

I have a Vais(sp) on my 358jdjit works. Remember this,ear protection is a MUST when using a brake.

OTT makes a "fish gill" brake that alot of shooters are using on the big bore barrels. Saw one on a 15" 458 Win Mag and a 16.5" 300 Win Mag barrels. The guys who have them swear by them.

I have seen the 458 and the 0tt break hear good things about it too and Mike that dose them..

And I ain't concern about looks I am all about ugly keeps other people off my stuff ( and that theory works for every thing guns,trucks,boats,women,ect.)

the worst muzzle tamer I ever owned was from T/C custom shop on a 270 worked good but the sound was the not worth it.
