Gunsmithing Screw-on then clamp muzzlebrake

[762frmafr]

I am building a 45 caliber smokeless muzzleloader. This will shoot a 325 grain bullet in front of 65-71 grains of H4198. Needless to say, I think it will have a little kick. I am looking for a muzzlebrake that screws on then clamps in place. It will need to have quite a bit of surface area since the bore will be so large. I have contacted Benchmark to see if they can do one of theirs in a .458 bore. While I am waiting to hear back from them, does anyone know of any other manufacturers that I should consider?

The badger FTE comes in 3/4-24 and 3/4-28 versions.

Those should be big enough for a 45 caliber barrel.

That was going to be my recommendation as well. Easy on/off, and lots of effective surface area for recoil reduction. The only downside is the bulk and weight.

Check out the Grizzly Gunworks brakes.

Mine should be able to handle it.

Will you be shooting sabots? A baffle style brake might not like them very much.
