Re: Muzzle brake for 0.338 Lapua Magnum
Muzzle brakes make the rifle louder, what you need would be a can.
Look at the brake that PGWDTI make. The flash is at the side and not up or down.
This is my PGWDTI Timberwolf in .338LM.

Surefire is a good one. I've used it a lot for the 338.

Badger's FTE is what I run on my .338LM...resembles the Timberwolf design as it diverts the blast sideways and not down. Not pretty but very effective...

Re: Muzzle brake for 0.338 Lapua Magnum
There was an article somewhere (can't remember) that tested quite a few brakes, Sako, AR-30, Vias, and a few others. The test rifle was a .338LM, and I think an AR-30. They did have threaded adapters made, to cover the different sizes, and had some kind of electronic thingy mouted on the stock top measure recoil? I do recall, that the AR-30 brake came out on top. It's big, and ugly, but maybe that's it works so well.

Re: Muzzle brake for 0.338 Lapua Magnum
i have a modified badger im useing on my 338 and 6.5 06 and 7mm i like the design and its very effective has three ports on top center with side slots all pushing up and away seems the is no muzzle ground signature when fired from the prone position and recoil is reduced greatly

+1 on the AR-30 brake. If you don't want a can, it is the best for recoil reduction. But it is big and ugly as fuck.

Re: Muzzle brake for 0.338 Lapua Magnum
Thanks for all the information, after I did some checks I found out that it will be impossible to import a muzzle brake from the US or Europe for an Israeli citizen every body told me to just forget it.
So I decided to build one of my own my initial plan is to make one on a Lathe and CNC machine with 3 ports which go 30 degrees up and 45 degrees back the external diameter will be 40 mm and total length of 80-100 mm I already bought a piece of 4340 steel and I will upload pictures of the process of making it and final results.
if someone can give me some input regarding my design I will really appreciate it
Thanks

Forgot to add that the brake on the Timberwolf is similar to an FN FAL.

APA Fat Bastard is another good brake for the bigger boomers.
