I made a new video so you can see what happens without the muzzle brake.

<object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tMLMof4P8Hk"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tMLMof4P8Hk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed></object>

Did I mention I'm going to have a Remington 700 on sale shortly

Once we clean all the dirt out of course......

Re: New Fat Bastard video

Great vid.....

But as it seems to have bounced muzzle down and the thread protector was "totally full of dirt", I might just have been tempted to remove the bolt and check the bore for any more obstructions before firing the second shot!

Re: New Fat Bastard video

I knew it was going to fly off I just didn't know how far the first time I did it. Without the brake it actually cut my finger open when the trigger guard hit me.
I would say it was definitely a "nobody" break in if there ever was one.
I made the thread cap 1.5" long so the dirt would pack in the cap and couldn't actually pack itself into the barrel. Round 1 took 15 minutes to get the dirt out.

Only when it's on a little gun like a 243... that one defies comprehension.

WOW! That was completely unexpected! I knew the brake would make a difference, but didn't expect the rifle to go on safari into the bushes.

Great vid. Thanks for sacrificing your rifle to make it.

Re: New Fat Bastard video

How was that muzzle blast standing right next to the rifle instead of being behind it?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: CharlieTN</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Very cool video and definitely will sell your brakes.

Reminds me of the guy who started shooting himself to sell body armor. Crazy but it worked.

</div></div>

I remember watching that guy on a VHS tape called Deadly Weapons.
He stuffed a bunch of magazines up under the vest and held a 44 upside down to shoot himself.

Re: New Fat Bastard video

The first part of this video made me cringe. But at least it hit the concrete on the recoil pad.

The second part I thought, "well that's one way to sell a muzzle brake." lol

Don't underestimate the LB. I have one on my 7 and it's like shooting a 243. I'd have to admit though, the FB is pretty kickass looking!

Cool vid Jered, and good luck in Africa.

The reason I started using brakes was because of shooting prairie dogs @ 500 yds. with a .22-250! People can talk all they want about being perfectly behind the rifle. But, when your target is 1x.5moa...a brake really comes in handy. Never losing sight of a very small target like that gives a lot of insurance you hit him. Or, at least you'll know you didn't.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Indypendent</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nice video. You should do a similar video with competitor's/other manufacturer's brakes. You could even pioneer the rifle throwing test technique as a valid method of measuring recoil. </div></div>

It looks like you may have just pioneered a new testing standard.
Although you will have to refine the trigger thing.

Re: New Fat Bastard video

It would be interesting as a side experiment to see you shoot the rifle with NO brake, and then shoot it with the FB. The difference in perceived recoil would be an excellent demo.
I have a Savage 112 in .300. Would that break work on it?
The last .300 I had I used a Magnaport muzzle break and it worked great. That would be another great comparison video!
Thanks,

Phil
