I was just perusing Ahlman's website and noticed that they have a new muzzle brake. In there explanation they go on to explain that one of the ways the brake controls recoil is by greatly reducing the rocket effect. While I don't think their brake is anything really new, it got me thinking. I know a brake is more effective on a "bigger" cartridge, but by saying that do they mean to say a more "inefficient" cartridge. Seems like the rocket effect would be greater on a "overbore" cartridge (30-378 Wby for instance) that produces lots of flash and noise, than it would be on something that is traditionally thought of as efficient, say a 35 Whelan. I'm not looking at doing anything "crazy" .....yet, but it would be a good thing to know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
