I put one on my 300 NMI and could see hits on target at 100 yds.
I ended up replacing it for other reasons.

Out of the 3 brakes I've tried on my 338LM the Terminator T4 seemed to reduce recoil the most.I've since replaced it with an EC Tuner Brake and though I don't think it's as effective as the T4(5 port compared to the EC 4 port)I've gotten so used to recoil after 475 rounds of Berger 300 gr. OTM's the little bit of extra felt recoil from the EC doesn't seem to bother me at all.

I like Area419 Sidewinder.

IS anyone familiar with this

Cadex MX1​

T4 is a known performer
I use a area 419 sidewinder on my 338 edge and it makes it pretty nice to shoot.

T4 terminator is on my 338 Lapua and my wife can shoot it with stout loads and 300 grain Bergers, it’s doesn’t bother her at all @145 pounds.

Wow interesting thanks for the info .

If you have an inclination to use a suppressor, take a look at the Surefire brake/adapter. I have it on my Sako TRG 338 and it is smooth.

 

[Ranger188]

I have a Area 419 sidewinder now on my 300 NMI
The Beast brake is more efficient, bigger but reduces recoil better than the sidewinder.

Im thinking of the T4 terminator. anyone know where I might get the best price

My .338 Lapua is a Savage 110 BA and came from the factory with a muzzle brake, so I have no idea what make the brake is, but the recoil is low - about like a 9 pound .308 Win.

And because of the brake, it is by far the loudest rifle I own, lol.

5 Port Super Beast II from Muzzlebrakesandmore.com

Makes my 338 Edge feel like my 22-250. The Edge also weighs 20 lbs with a 28" MTU contour barrel, so take that in consideration as well.

I also used an APA Fat Bastard, which wasn't as effective and just as heavy and long.

I shoot at home on the farm most of the time. My local range has a steel roof over the benches. Even when trying to be polite. My 338 Lapua with brake sure thins out the crowd!

 

[farmer44]

lol

farmer 44,

I use a Fat Bastard from American Precision Arms on my 338 Lapua. The newest ones can even help control torque.

HTH,

The T4 and the APA FB Gen 3 are very close. The APA helps stay on target a bit more while the T4 has a touch less recoil. Toss up really.
However take a good look at SRS Titanium 5 ports at 1/2 the weight.

On my 338 LM I use a APA break. Had others shoot mine and they have changed their break to a APA break. I run their breakers on all my rifles.

I've tried 4 brakes prior to buying the brake I have now. Ross Shuler made it who recently sold his business to another. He may still be apart of the business not sure but they still make the brakes. I've had some brake 3-4 times the price of the one I have now and none provided better recoil reduction. Just my .02. It's real life experience based on comparisons. MBM makes very similar brakes only Nathan makes adjustable brakes and a bigger variety. Kelly Driesel owns Ross Brakes today and has the same brake available.
