What brake is everyone using for dasher

[Longranger81]

I’m trying to decide on which brake to get for my dasher. I’m not a fan of them but gonna have to have one looking for the best recoil management but the least blow back in my face thanks in advance

Try one of the Patriot Valley Arms Jet4 brakes. They reduce recoil great but also block the blast from going back to shooter. I use them on multiple rifles.

My PRS buddies swear by MPA DN5

I shoot this brake on all of my rifles and hunting handguns and it does very well, as on my hunting guns, it allows me to watch the bullet impact through the scope!

Polished barrel or bead blast finish, there is NEVER a seam line showing between the barrel and brake.

Barrels are always turned between centers for threading, the muzzle is re-crownwd with an 11 degree target crown, and muzzle brakes are taper cut to match the barrels taper.

Muzzle brake and installation cost $125 per barrel.

I can't list my gunsmith without his permission, cause he stays pretty dang gone busy!

Are you talking like PRS usage where you 100% have to spot your shots from unstable positions, or just something where you want to knock the recoil back a bit? Flat baffle brakes will have less back blast but more recoil, angled port brakes will have more recoil reduction but more overall concussion. Most don't hit the shooter with the blast, but are still really loud especially if shooting under cover. It's a trade off, not really possible to have max in both categories.

Brakes that come to mind in the "less blast" category are ones like the ACE Brake or Insite Arms Heathen. In the max recoil reduction/more concussion category you have APA little/fat bastard, MPA DN5. The Jetblast or Jet4 brakes do a good middle of the road approach and are reasonably priced.

In my testing, the Heathen definitely had less blast than most other brakes. I love mine, especially when shooting indoors. The wall to either side of me meant, with an angled first baffle, put the blast up in my face. Outdoors, on a shooting line, it’s not bad for the shooters next to me.

Radial brakes are good for no blast to the shooter but they’re loud if shooting next to a wall or indoors. Outside in the open not so bad.

 

[Rob01]

And if shooting prone they kick up a lot of dust.

I use Witt machine brakes on most of my rifles

I have an Area 419 Hellfire for my 6BRA. I don’t use it much because it isn’t allowed in F Class but I did try it and it definitely has an effect on recoil. I have them on 3 other rifles as well.

 

[rijndael]

The hellfire is great for recoil reduction but the blast on the side of the shooter is brutal. So are the bastard brakes from APA.

Second that… concussion to the side is obnoxious.

ACE Nailed it in my opinion. I’ve been shooting the hellfire match for 2 years now, and i just wanted to see what ACE was all about. Glad I did.

I think Area 419 has a leg up on the mounting system.

I use the Hellfire brakes since they are easy to remove and install without tools. After shooting, I put in in the ultrasonic with the brass. It's easier for me to clean the barrel with the brake off too.

I don't see why you need a break on a Dasher.
