Thanks Hoot, I'll look into that.

I'm new here and new to the .450BM.....saw a deal of a .450BM upper with 62 rounds through her and 17 boxes of Hornady ammo for $500 :D ....that's all I needed to get me to jump into the big bore world. I was led here from another forum and want to buy a Ross brake. My question is I tried calling a phone number I found on what I believe is his site but it just rang....no machine to leave a message. I also emailed...is this the best way to contact him?

Thanks and glad to be on board!!

I've always just emailed Ross. He's a one man band, so it might take a day or two to get a reply.

I am getting around to ordering a pair of brakes from Ross, one for my 450 bushy and the other for my lr 308. He has them in three different sizes, in .813---1" and 1.250. I was wondering if there is a difference in the three sizes as far as braking, noise, weight or anything else involved that I hadn't thought of? I didn't think of this when I was emailing Ross so thought I would throw it out to see what thoughts there are on this.

Your weight is going to be the main factor. But Hoot might be able to enlighten you a bit. I'm sure Ross knows what size to use for a specific caliber.

Thanks for the info. Ross and I have everything figured out as far as the barrel threads, etc. I was wondering whether the the small amount of weight would be noticeable and maybe even a little advantageous because weight counteracts recoil. One of the main things I was thinking about is if the larger size would have any effect on the braking action with the gasses, we are talking about .437 difference in size from the largest to the smallest. I always prefer the shortest, smallest that gets the job done and would prefer the .813 size. But if the larger size would work better, I will go with it.

The only accurate answer would be to have gunnutone graph each of them. I have the 1 inch on my 450b and I have the .813 on my LAR-8 Predator HP. It does double duty on my 6.5 Grendel, depending upon which I'm in the mood to shoot. I have not tried the other two sizes on my 450b, so I can't say which would be the best compromise. I suspect the biggest would provide more reduction than the smaller ones due to having bigger gills, but of all the places to have more weight, the muzzle would be my last choice, but that's just my opinion.

I just talked to Ross a little while ago and he recommended the one inch on both guns so I went ahead and ordered them. Thanks everyone for the input. jim
