The angled port etc brake recoil reduction applies to both 7mm and 338 etc. I agree the 338's will be easier, but there'll still be a place for the 195's in some situations, if they work out.
And you're right, the 375's should be the new king for big guns and will have better barrel life. But as usual we are waiting - for bullets, barrels, more testing etc...and in the meantime the proven 338's are still flattening deer and smacking gongs!

Some of us are already shooting the 375s Greg, with great results so far, admitably not on animals yet but that won't be far away.

Already better ballistics than the 338 Cheytac improved, with less powder

Yes the great brakes make a big difference to any calibre.

If my 12 year old daughter can shoot my 338 imp easily then the 7mm Rum I have at the moment would be a non issue now it has a decent brake on it.

The rearward ported brake makes a big difference compared to convential ported brake any radial brake especially in the bigger calibres.


I have been told to be carefull with my brake design as many people are concerned that it will be blatantly plagerised, like another popular kiwi made brake recently
