Based on my personal experience. If you are splitting hairs, the spiral brake will have a small advantage in accuracy.IMHO

The spiral brake has ports all around, not just on the sides like a tactical brake.

I've been able to switch between my Ross (Holland Style, ports on the side and top) and my Harrells (Spiral Style, holes all the way around) with no POI change. Not sure why some would get a POI change but if you shoot prone you'll want one with no holes on the bottom unless you don't mind the dust and debris being thrown up and if you shoot mostly off a table or higher off the ground the spiral should work fine. Some want a perfect fit with their brake and barrel to look seamless so you'll have to have the Ross timed so the crush or rubber o-ring won't show. The spiral just screw it on and go shoot.

rainman....ill say this i am just getting into this whole building and modifying your own weapon...i know even less about brakes... but here is what i do know... i carry a 1 of 2 M24's at work...308 and 300 win..both of witch have the same break on them... surefire...both of them i took to the range last month and shot a 5 shot group with them both... than i took the brakes off and fired another 5 out of each... me and my NCO were curious about this..you want to know the difference.... there were 2 differences...1 my shoulder hurt lil more and 2 you lost sight picture... and thats it... the groups were both well under .5 inches...aka no change in POI....
i am not a expert by no means...there are many who idk what they have forgotten... this is only my 2 cents and take it as you want
