I have a .300 WSM Savage 111, that I am wanting to put a muzzle brake on. What is a good one to purchase for this?

I just put together a 300 WSM and put an APA Little Bastard on it. I'm very pleased with how the recoil is. Kicks quite a bit less then my 308 which doesn't have a brake.

I'm with Keith on this one. I used a Holland once on a 300 wsm. It was terrible for the shooter and anyone else around. It did help the recoil. Badger is a good choice.

Re: Muzzle Brake?
I have used and installed badger FTE, badger thruster, vias,schrewd, ops inc. and R&D RAD brake. All of them work well but I really like the RAD brake the best. It is easy to install and remove and you dont need any special contour on your barrel. I will be using this brake for all future builds. I find it to be just as effective as the larger FTE brake. My 30-06 launches 208gr bullets at 2750 and I do not notice the recoil. You can find them in the commercial vendor section.

I have been very pleased with the Benchmark Barrels "Muscle Breaks". They are available in multiple sizes and work great.
I just installed the large version on my 280AI and the recoil is VERY manageable. I put 65 rounds through it yesterday and my shoulder feels just like a day with my 6mm's. Very effective.

Me too. I have had no issues with the Hollands, and they work very well. JP also works well, but not everyone likes the bold look on the end of their barrel.

Re: Muzzle Brake?
I've been around a lot of brakes. All seem to mitigate recoil well. The little bastard works great, and is the MOST obnoxious one I've experienced. Nothing like your partner blowing spent Varget into your sinuses at 250mph!

Re: Muzzle Brake?
Mine doesn't have a cool name or look very flashy compared to most, but it does work and I can guarantee beyond any doubt the ports are clocked exactly 3/9, 2/10, and 4/8 in relation to the receiver. It's also contoured to your barrel so that its a seamless transition.
Good luck on your quest.

I know Chads brake takes 300 grain smk out of an edge down to about a 308 and I didnt notice any blowback to the shooter at all. Was very impressed with how it performed.
