Just ordered the barrel for my Big .33 build. Brake is a potential lead time item so that's next. Advice? I'd say Holland, Vais, and DE are my leading candidates and if I ordered it this second, it'd be DE. But interested in any experience-based opinions. Thanks.
It MUST do great from prone. No dust storms allowed.

Terminator 3. Backward slanted ports except the one nearest the muzzle. Excellent for prone since there are no ports in the bottom. Muzzle is .930" on mine.

The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Mine is the DE and I am very happy with it.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Somewhere on the 'net there is a comparison with a slide. There was as much as 100% difference from the worst to the best. I don't remember where, but after watching the video I purchased the Terminator 3 for my "big" gun and a Terminator 2 for my smaller one.

Here's an interesting one. Top pic is the DE: ![[Linked Image]](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r111/handwired/2F5B97D9-5691-464E-A14C-9F51A4271311.jpg) Bottom pic is an Elk Meadow Performance unit. Design seems very similar though the EMP does have a small port at TDC. The EMP is titanium........ ![[Linked Image]](http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r111/handwired/FF3626C7-0A8E-47AE-809B-D9C0CFD6B0DA.jpg)

Social conservatives have been pushing an agenda of god in the schools, courthouses, etc. I cannot abide by that. It degrades BOTH the concepts of God, and of State.
By the way, I have my own spiritual beliefs which I am not interested in sharing around here. WAY too much childish behavior around here for that. Not blaming any if the posters on this thread, but if I " go there", I'll never hear the end of it.
You guys are comical in your fear of Obama. He's not gonna go after your guns. The Dems have learned their lesson on that one. But after 8 years of ineptitude from GWB, and with an old, tired McCain and a freaky Palin as the ONLY alternative... Well... Call me all the names you want, but *I* voted for the better overall ticket, period. If the repub's had fielded a decent ticket, or if we HAD MORE REAL CHOICES, (aaargh!!) it would be different.
Right now, if McCain was prez, he'd be acting like a deer in the headlights, blustering, alienating congress, and pushing a "stimulus package" very similar in substance to the crap Obama is pushing.
Face it. We had two bad choices. Obama was the better one, and not by a little bit!

I've never machined Ti so it'd be a learning experience bringing it to barrel OD and taper with a nice surface finish. I'd be leaning on Steve for some info there for sure. One thing I've wondered, since noticing the EMP, is whether reducing weight out at the muzzle is even desirable! For carry, yeah... but for you brake users, are some extra ounces out at the muzzle actually a benefit when it comes to stability with staying on target? Or does the brake itself render that moot?

Jeff, have you ever considered shooting a rifle? I mean REALLY considered it? I think you should give it some thought.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

It MUST do great from prone. No dust storms allowed. Does this mean you've decided on the bullet you want to shoot and the case you want to shoot it out of?

I traded for an Ed Brown Damara a number of years ago. It's a .300 Win Mag. I saw a piece by Ed, stating that light barrels, particularly, seem to shoot better with a brake. Thus, all his LW magnums, such as the Damara, were supplied with a brake. Unfortunately, Ed shut down his rifle line to focus on pistols.
Not a discussion on what type brake, just thoughts about brake or no brake. The Damara doesn't shoot as well without the brake, so it stays, although I basically don't like brakes.
