I like Eric Cortina's muzzle brake tuner. Good muzzle brake + a good tuner. What more could you ask for?!! Check it out.

It is pretty much impossible to make an objective assessment of muzzle brakes unless you actually measure their effectiveness.

There are several videos of people using different measuring tools, some very simple, a sled type rig, but seemingly effective, some quite elaborate using accelerometers that have the ability to make precise measurements.

I find it amusing that there are a plethoria of threads on this forum discussing measuring cartridge components, seemingly to the 0.0005 +/- 0.0001 (bullets, cases, powder, primers) and yet I see people posting things like "My friend Bubba has a Fire Breathing Smoken Choken Brake and it is as good as any brake."

If it saves folks some time, here are some of the summaries from the testing in that Canadian Precision Shooting video.

And Gavin recently added testing of the Botnia brakes as well.
