What brake works best for a heavy varmit barrel .224-6.5 mm?
Thanks

I've got a couple of the X Caliber brakes to match their barrels when I ordered from them, they are the spiral hole pattern, and work well IMO. I shoot from a bench 100% whether at the range or for varmints, so can't speak about what debris will be kicked up if used prone. Their brakes will swap between barrels w/o issues.

A while back I read an article or was it a video where some guys tested a few brakes, but unfortunately I have lost the link. I've only used a Witt Machine and an Area 419 Hellfire Match on a 6.5mm. I like the Hellfire the best but I think the Witt did a good job as well. A lot will depend on the features you want. Clamp on, screw on on, self indexing, side ports, 360° ports, etc. How the ports work as to how much blast the shooter feels and hears. Lots of considerations. I also have a Epsilon VG6 on an AR 556 that works well. The Witt is a clamp on and the Hellfire and VG6 are self indexing which I like.

I prefer a Schuler 3 port Brake or a Harrels radial.

I have a couple of Witt brakes. One on my 22-250 , one on my 6.5 Cr, and one on my 243.

My suppressor works as good as any brake I ever had.

I installed a couple of the Area 419 brakes when I couldn't get the Vais anymore and really like the self timing of these, so easy.

I like Harrels radial brakes.

While I like Harrels, see the following for your reading pleasure.

I prefer the Harrels brakes as well, they tamed my 284 and 260AI. The non directional design makes it better for the guy shooting next to you. E

For a clamp on brake if your muzzle isn’t threaded I like the Witt Machine. It will mar the finish in the barrel a little though if you ever decide to remove it.
For a radial there’s a number of them. I have an x-caliber and 2 Harrells and they all work really well.
The x-caliber is double the price of the Harrells and does just as good. Probably won’t order another one over the Harrells, but does have a nice look though.
