The rifle starts recoiling the moment the bullet starts moving. The brake is good at reducing felt recoil by turning some of the gas around as the bullet exits the muzzle, but by then the damage to precision is already done. That's why benchrest rifles are made to weigh so much - and why so many people offload T3X's chambered in 300wm.
