hi,
i shoot a 24" .308 now without brake. i'm comfortable with it. i have an opportunity to get a .300 winmag or .338 Lapua stick that will have a .75" x 24 threaded barrel from the get-go.
some form of muzzle brake will be part of this equation from the get go. things i've come across:
option one) http://www.surefire.com/MB338SS03-Muzzle-BrakeAdapter while i wait for the actual supressor paperwork to go through. the brake serves as the can mount, looks very logical. thoughts?
option two) http://www.probed2000.com/main.htm#S.H.M.B. you may have to scroll manually down to "Score High Muzzle Brakes" seems very reasonably priced and note their claimed figures:

375 H&H Mag ® | 30-06 Sprg
338 Rem Ultra Mag ® | 270 Win
338 Win Mag® | 270 Win
300 Rem Ultra Mag ® | 25-06
300 Weatherby Mag ® | 243 Win
300 Win Mag ® | 243 Win

7mm Rem Mag ® | 243 Win
270 Win ® | 22-250 Rem
25-06 ® | 223 Rem
22-250 Rem ® | 17 Rem
since a 243 kicks less than a .308 (about 4-5 ft lbs per charts i've seen) that would make the .300 win mag shoot 'less nasty' than my .308. fiction? i assume they're being straight forward, since the published recoil numbers for a given bullet weight in the 'same rifle' would be easy to dispell. does it pass your smell test? are these figures the norm? is this the best you've seen?
do you have any first hand experience comparing other lines/models?
thanks.
