No accusations, but interesting it seems that all the internet claims of high recoil reduction on the "brakes tested so far" are not proving out by a team of people that are from here and experts in the field that do it for a living with very sophisticated equipment.
Like I said, I would love to see a phase two so if you or anyone else has the "super" brake send it to them and lets see where it falls out. I did not even realize you were selling brakes until this last post.
If anyone really has a 70% reduction recoil brake, this test would prove it and they could corner the market literally as the highest so far is 46% or 47%.
Also, like it or not, it is probably going to be the standard test for a long time vs a self proclaiming marketing video which is the norm now. Nothing personal just fact.
Everyone should take a moment and read the link below on the study issues, methodology and equipment and see why this is this will probably be the standard for awhile.

It is very simple, Watch the test Videos, look at the numbers on the machine from the first test to the last. and do the math. I have the same problem with most test that are just some charts with data and no video of the test that verifies the numbers.
www.jecustom.com - Home of the Assassin Muzzle Brake
Test #1 a 30/06 (We use this rifle for a bench mark every time we start a test to make sure the test bed is the same and has not changed invalidating all other test. The rifle weighs 7.5 Pounds and produces a recoil of 21.5 calculated was 20.7 so if any thing our recoil numbers are conservative
lowering the recoil %.
Test #2 A 300 RUM that weighs 12.5 pounds and has a calculated(And tested) recoil without a brake of 32.5 ft/lbs of recoil and with the Assassin 10.5 ft/lbs for a 68% reduction in recoil. (From
32.5 to 10.5) Do the math.
Test # 3 another 300 rum that weighs 11.5 pounds and the calculated/tested recoil was a little higher at 34.9 as expected without a brake,and the test showed 13.3 with an Assassin experimentally tuned produced less recoil reduction.
Test #4 the same 11.5 pound RUM with a fully tuned Assassin went from 34.9 to 10.5 for a reduction of 70%.
All test were open videos taken on the same day under the same conditions using the same like ammo for like calibers. I can't make you believe anything, just show the test in real time and for
all to see.
I do not trust Charts because they can be skewed to make something look better than the competition (Just like reloading manuals printed by a powder manufacture always make there powder look better that there competitors. Isn't it strange that all charts show that the producer of the charts products are at the top of the list ? Why would they show someone's products out performing theirs? the performers are simply left out.
PS : we have reached even higher recoil reduction than the 70% on a 30/378 Out of a maximum potential/total gas recoil of 74.2 % the tuned Assassin produced just over 73 % recoil reduction.
A friend on this site named rich has this rifle and was very happy with 73% reduction in the 30/378
plus the improvement in accuracy because of reduced recoil.
I even tested his rifle with the factory brake that proved the makers claims of 53% and gave him the results of the 73% reduction of the improvement.
I don't know how to prove it any more so I wont try.
All test are there to see. and I am not in the business, so I only make a few custom brakes for friends and relatives. So I don't need or want to push my brake and only shared the test to help people decide what type and brand of brake to buy for there budget and needs.
To end On I high note: producing a better brake has brought a new group of better designed brakes
for all to use. and like anything else when a better product comes out everyone scrambles to improve there products to stay up. (Bullets that are available nowadays are a prime example of this).
