Muzzle brake for .454 Casull Encore

[Arizona Jake]

Can anyone recommend a GOOD muzzle brake for a 12" Encore barrel in .454 Casull?  My hands don't have a lot of meat on them and shooting my Encore is no fun after approximately 10 shots. Does anyone have any comments on the "Muzzle Tamer" brake offered by TC ?

As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

T/C's muzzletamer is very effective and is a viable route for you as it is not very long at all.

Give Mike at OTT a call. He has a "fish gill" brake that is very effective. Some guys I know are using it on some of the big boomer Encore handguns {300 win mag, 458 win mag, and 50 AK} and are very pleased with the results. Here is a link to his webpage.

As for the "Maximizer" brake from David White, I had one of those. Didn't like the look or the performance. Most of his brakes are made of aluminum and are much larger dia than the barrel.

Thank you all very much for the information. I'll check all sources and make a decision. Regards,

I have found the brakes with holes all the way around work better than the muzzle tamer

I have a 12” 454 Casull Encore barrel without any break our tamer.  I have a Weaver 2x28mm scope installed on it and the recoil is more than manageable.  I hand load all my ammunition and I strictly use 335 to 360 grains hard cast gas checked LBT design bullets with full charges of H-110 powder.  I find muzzle tamers or breaks annoyingly loud.  They are not required for hunting purposes.

SSK is the place for brakes.  I have complete confidence in JD Jones and his knowledge on the subject.
