The thing is it manages recoil better than the 7.62SD on my buddies .308. It's just a shit load louder of course.

No 3 ports on each side
Best brake out there. I love mine

It does it's job pretty well. I just wish It was not such a dust blowing SOB.

I agree with shootone, I have the fat bastard (same style) on my .338 and I love it.

I run a Surefire and it kicks up dust and grass all the time, most brakes do. Better than kicking me all day long.

The ports have a upward angle as well ,make sure your not 180 out on your timeing. And yea, they got a bark to them, that just means they are doing what they're supposed to!

Re: My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust.
HA! Thats nothing.. I have a Shrewd brake on mine with round ports the entire 360* of it.. Similar to the CA legal M1A brakes.
In one of the recent competitions I shot in, we were shooting off a berm that just happened to be shored up with old concrete filled cinder-blocks. Guess where my muzzle was? Right above the edge of these old cinder-blocks.
You haven't lived until you truly test your shot follow-through with little bits of concrete being blasted into your face.
My current brake is impressively efficient though in terms of recoil reduction, though I am considering that maybe I need to invest in a new brake.. I have been leaning towards the SureFire brakes as they seem to do a very nice job of recoil management with few ill side-effects. I may have to look into the Lil-Bastard as well...

Re: My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust.
Mine does the same thing, i find myself looking for shooting positions that alow me to big a couple feet above the ground....in CA just no way around it. Sucks

Re: My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust.
The challenge at hand with any brake is multiplying the surface area as it directs the exhaust gasses. The bigger the footprint the gas occupies as it makes the right angled turn from the bore, the bigger the 'slap' the stagnent air gets that surrounds it.
-a louder gun being the trade off for one that efficiently mitigates recoil.
Pressure exerts itself at a right angle to whatever it contacts. It also takes the path of least resistance. These two rules makes it a challenge to direct the exhaust gasses in a controlled state once they leave the baffles of the brake. All hell breaks loose once its in the air surrounding the muzzle.
There's ways to manage it better, but unfortunately it makes the use far less practical.
I've installed quite a few of Jarod's brakes and they work well. Just be aware of your shooting environment whenever possible.
I once knocked a guys coke can all over his bench/gun once from two firing points away once while shooting a 50. We laughed about it, but I felt bad for not considering it prior to sending the 1st round down range.

Re: My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust.
Im still waiting for Jered to come out with the shirt that says
"STAND BACK I SHOOT A FAT BASTARD"
I use the Little bastard on all of my rifles. They are the best brake that I have ever used. The blast only stinks for the guys on the line. We usually build a "wall" with our packs to keep from messing up your buddy in a match.

Re: My lil bastard brake sure kicks up some dust.
I actually thought about doing a T-shirt like that. I just don't want to be holding $500 worth of T-shirts at the end of the day. I wasn't sure if people would actually buy them.
