Let’s discuss brakes for 300 Norma Improved

[QuietTexan]

How do you like the brake performance on the EC tuner+brake? Considering switching to one on one of my rifles.

I've mainly used them on 6.5 CMs, but have one on a 30 SM a 6.5-284 right now also. They work - as a brake and a tuner. Not that a 6.5CM needs much of a brake, but shot spotting was easier with it than a suppressor past 500 yards. The tuner is simple to dial in, and it actually changes group shapes. I'll be getting a BR model for my next 1.250 straight barrel. It's a quality part, it's about as effective as other brakes I've used (but I have all those up there for a direct side by side at some point), and it cleans up easily/well.

Thanks. I had not heard from anyone running the brake tuner combo. I like the idea of the combo single unit vs separate.

If I have any trouble getting this rifle to group I'll try one out.

SRS TI Pro 3 ST

I hadn't ever seen these, the Chub looks slightly more functional and slightly less graphic than the APA Chode


edit: spelling so you can find this thing of awesomeness

On my 260 I use Ti Pro3 ST. I never intended to load for it as I have a few boxes of BH/GAP ammo with 139 Lapua.

The grouping was not to my liking so I turned the brake full turn forward, and shot groups. In the 3rd full turn all fell in place, cut the original group in half. With side ports, tuning is limited only full turn or half.

Yes, the ST could work as a tuner.

I've had the ti pro, and Ryan's and both work well. Have several rifles with the Love Oak delta brake including my 300 NMI and have been very impressed with them.

I have Ryan's muscle brake on a 300PRC. Right now it shoots 230s about 2850fps It's manageable to shoot and I appreciate the zero backblast to me.

I've wondered if I should try a TI Prp 3 on it.
A few shouder surgeries and and broken collar bone have me worried as I get older.

I use the Muzzle brakes and more 5 port brake and really like it.Good luck

Terminator or MBM.

 

[Jcook02]

TI Pro 3 ST on my 300 RUM.

 

[WeiserBucks]

Terminator or MBM.

This is the correct answer.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I bought the Ti Pro 3. I'll report back when I get some range time.

Great choice. My Pro 3 tames the 338 right down in a 21.5" 8½ lb RTH
