Muzzle Brakes?

The design of the stock also plays a big role in how a rifle recoils. Traditional sporter style stocks tend to allow more 'muzzle flip' than stocks with higher combs that tend to better align the eye to the scope. The lower you can get the barrel centerline into the butt pad, the less muzzle flip you will experience.

Some brake designs focus just on recoil, while other designs compromise between recoil and muzzle flip. Look for brakes with holes on the top as well as the sides. Those do a slightly better job of controlling muzzle rise.
 
I have been watching many videos on brakes. Most of which are comparisons done on smaller caliber guns. I have a Seekins Havok PH2 in 6.5 PRC with their Seekins brake. It seems to jump up enough that im not seeing my impacts from 100 out to 1000 yards. So long story short lol has anyone found a brake or compensater that has helped keep them on target? Thank you in advance.
Unknown munitions has a salmon river brakes and they work great I use them on 338 lapua down to 22CM just go to there web site and pick out the one want on my 6.5 Prc I use the 4 port titanium You will like them

You should look at Optics Planet and the Hudo. Best muzzle break I've used.
 
I have Terminator T3, T4, SRS big 5 port, MBM 5 port and Fat Bstard Gen 3 and lil Bstard. The last two are the only ones with top ports and work the best for controlling muzzle rise on Lapua, Lapua AI, 338-378. Even so you need to have good form and don't use over 20 power to spot shots with 300 gr bullets and max loads. If you reduce load by 100 fps it gets easier.
 
The break on my Weatherby Backcountry 6.5 RPM work great to reduce recoil ,but the gun is so light it still jumps around.
I have 6 different Weatherby and they all come with a factory brake the releases in all directions perpendicular to the barrel. So reducing recoil is great but barrel rise is significant unless I'm firing from a real solid branch rest. I've switched all my rifles except my Christensen Arms MPR 338 LAPUA to Eric Cortina tuner brakes. These release the energy to the sides thereby reducing muzzle jump while greatly reducing recoil. Even with my 338-378 WBY Magnum I can see impact at 100.
 
For a lighter gun in a 6.5 PRC I can't see any brake allowing you to see impacts at inside of 300 yards.

Bingo! The Seekins brakes work really well but with a light gun and basically a magnum cartridge you are just going to be wasting money buying brake after brake chasing something you won't find. Practice more with the rifle and work on your fundamentals and it will help more than buying more brakes.
