Most effective Ti Brake

[762 ULTRAMAGA]

I'm looking for the most effective Titanium 30 cal brake for hunting, it's going on a 300 Norma that should finish around 9 lbs set up, hence the Ti.
I'm wanting side baffled, and not ridiculously huge.
I have a JP Ti 3 port on a 7 wsm, it works pretty well but I'm wondering if there's more reduction in a 4 or 5 port.
Thanks

I have no idea what the most effective Ti brake is but have a few comments generally on brakes.

Brake efficacy has a lot to do with the total area of the rear-facing surface that muzzle blast will hit and the angle of that surface. So generally, more ports will be more reduction though wider ports, such as JP's tank brake, or rear angled ports will be as well. This is where the element of re-direction of noise comes in. Brakes that angle backwards tend to be significantly higher in recoil reduction but even higher than that added noise for the shooter and those beside him. Angled brakes can also spit shrapnel at you or your shooting buddy. This can mean your maximum recoil reduction brake gives you a doubling of noise vs. a more balanced brake design for a 10% increase in recoil reduction performance and a little shard of copper that you have to pick out of your buddies back while he curses at you because he can't reach it and is less than pleased to have it embedded in him.

For my part I tend to look for a brake I favor a balanced design over maximum recoil reduction and also weigh noise more heavily in the equation than recoil reduction becuase the loudest brakes are only a little better in recoil reduction for as much as twice the noise. For what it is worth, JP's designs of the past have been of the more balanced variety with perhaps a little weighting to recoil reduction rather than noise. I have no idea if the one you are looking at is angled or not.

Thanks for the good points
The brakes I've really been looking at are the BEAST from MBM, and the Terminator T3

never shot a beast but do have a terminator TE 30 cal. it is a 5 port also and like big jim said it does really good on recoil but does send noise back more than others.
