I'm looking for input on muzzle brakes. I'm thinking about having a brake installed on one of my barrels (I'm a recoil wimp). Anyone have experience with T/C's muzzle tamer or EABCO's brakes?

The T/C muzzle tamer works very well for controlling muzzle flip. I'am currently working with a Vais muzzle break they are one of the best, i too am a recoil whimp but muzzle breaks do wonders. i even put them on my varmint rifle in 223 and 220 swift. the first thing i do when i buy a rifle or pistol is put a break on it no matter what the caliber.
.257JDJ, 6.5JDJ, 6TC/U, 7TC/U, and soon to be,
6.5-284, 7 Sundance MOA.

TC’s break works well on small bullets going at fast vel. On bigger calibers like the 444, 45-70, or even the 375 H&H I would go with another manufacturer.
Ps, I love the TC break on my 270 Win. It recoils like my 22-250!

My hands down favorite is Holland's New Radial muzzle brake.
I now have four of them.
243 Win, 6.5-284, and on two 7mm Dakota barrels.
I use high magnification rifle scopes on all of these specialty handguns.

The T/C break works well for me. I've got it on my .47-70 and 6x55. No complaints.
It's not the gun, but the man behind it.

Both are blued as are the brakes.

the only brake I've used besides the factory tc is one I had Gary Reeder install on my 375JDJ and the gun now kicks like a mild 44 revolver.

As wapitirod, I have only had dealings with Gary Reeders brake. I had one installed on my 475 linebaugh and it now feels like shooting a 44 mag.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

I ended up going with Ross Schuler for my muzzle brake. He did an AWESOME job. He recieved my barrel on Monday (idaho) and I had it back in my hands (Kentucky) on Wed. I can't wait to get it out to the range. I'll post pics later.....I am working on the forend for it.
