Hello,
Anyone tested the MDT COMP BRAKE and the TERMINATOR Brakes?
Which one would be better for a brand new .338LM?

That video was garbage. No way in hell his hand on the gun did not affect readings.
I’ve noticed that recently. I also saw mention that he is pretty expensive to put your product in front of.Not a good channel if you want objective reviews.
Great if you want a sales pitch on whatever gear he's received though. It seems like he just reads off of a sales brochure.

I have no idea what his financial agreements are with the companies whom he reviews products for.
But I would not be surprised at all if there was a fiscal incentive to his "reviews", given the clear lack of objectivity.
I just put an MDT Comp Brake on my 6.5 CM MPA chassis. Only shot about 30 rounds from prone only, but it worked amazingly good. The top vents we’re about 3/4 the way open. Next time I take it out I’m going to open them all the way and see if there’s much difference. I’ve used an are 419 and a PVA brake before. Those are both good products and great companies, but there brakes don’t compare in ability to keep the reticle on target during recoil recovery, at least for me. Obviously we all are different, so your perception might be different than mine.Hello,

This is pretty much all youtube videos with the exception of a very few competent and objective reviewers such as GT.
They don't make videos for fun, they are a business. Bad Reviews don't generate revenue unless you are so big and respected that you get more money from users than companies (again , like GT). Also need to have integrity, which most do not.
What settled you on those two?Hello,

Something you're likely to experience with that caliber, yet few seem to talk about: concussion back on the shooter. The bigger the magnum, the more people want to put a brake on it. What the brake does with the blast when redirecting it is just as important (if not more so) than the recoil reduction.
Concussion on the shooter is detrimental to our ability to follow through as well as our long term health from shooting braked rifles. Keeping the blast off the shooter was a primary concern of several Olympic shooters that I interviewed while developing the various brakes that I make. They all agreed that they would rather have to shoot without a brake than shoot something that throws blast back on their face. Concussion to the face has long term negative effects to our eyes and ears especially. Short/immediate term (IE follow up shots) have been proven to be less repeatable when the shooter is being concussed. Therefore, their conclusion was to avoid any chance that will happen.
Taking that in to account is how I ended up with the brakes that we did. They're all top of the pile for recoil reduction but the key factor is what happens to the blast. It's not on the shooter and that's critical.
The Shockwave is what you'd be looking for on a 338 LM. I have 33 caliber versions finishing up in SS on the mill right now, they'll be available on the website this weekend.
Shockwave Muzzle Brake
Cut recoil and muzzle rise, increase accuracy with the self-timing Shockwave. Easy install, no machining or gunsmithing required. At PVA, we engineer repeatability. 100% made in USA.patriotvalleyarms.com

Only does videos that are paid for and they cost thousands.I have no idea what his financial agreements are with the companies whom he reviews products for.

It would be interesting to compare the PVA to my Hawkins brake. The Hawkins doesn't have angled ports like the PVA. I have an original area 419 and the back blast on that is vicious compared to the Hawkins.My perception is a little different. I went to the range with a PVA Jet4 and the MDT Comp brake and shot first with the PVA from bench at 100 to check zero and then from barricade at 400 yards and then took it off and put on the MDT, all top ports open, and shot the same bench and then barricade. I couldn't feel a difference in recoil reduction or movement on target. Both worked very well but no discernible difference for me.
MDT did do a good job cutting concussion compared to brakes like the APA Little or Fat Bastards which blow a lot back at the shooter.
Its about transparency. The Sponsors are not gun product companies. They are unrelated.Garand Thumb certainly comes off as competent, and his content gives me no reason to doubt his objectivity. He also amuses me. But he does take money in exchange for promotion, asking with many other "famous" names:

Just something to keep in mind when taking advice or passing it along to others.
That's too logical.If people saw their PRS scores they would unsubscribe.
Taking gun advise from people who compete for last place every match is probably not wise.
We've done the testing.It would be interesting to compare the PVA to my Hawkins brake. The Hawkins doesn't have angled ports like the PVA. I have an original area 419 and the back blast on that is vicious compared to the Hawkins.

It helps keep conflicts of interest out of it and allows him to give honest reviews. Mike is a first rate American and deserves the respect he has earned.
Concussion is when the sound pressure level (loudness) overcomes your hearing protection. Some brakes redirect and concentrate the loudness of the shot to the sides and rear making it very loud for the shooter and those adjacent to them.Thanks to all, for the advice. Please forgive me if I ask an obvious thing, but my english is not too good.. What do you mean with "concussion"?
About suppressor in my country they are not allowed.
I have the Terminator 4 on my 33XC,the EC Tuner Brake on a 375 Cheytac and a Terminator 5 on my other 375 Cheytac.Hello,
