Muzzle break

[Procross]

I ordered a smokeless barrel with a muzzle brake for my Omega, Will the break interfere with sabots or cause dangerous situation, Never had one on a muzzleloader, thanks

Not if you got one made for shooting sabots (bored larger than one made for bullet to bore shooting.) Assume you ordered from Woodman?

You'll have trouble with a tactical brake but not a radial.

Yes woodman, thanks should be set

I assume a tac brake from Woodman because I don’t think he makes a radial.

We make both size brakes, larger bores for sabots and smaller for bore riders. Tactical and radial. We do slightly different porting on the tactical for sabots.

Hello Mark. Just what is the difference between a tactical and radial muzzle break? Ty

Radial





Tactical





A high quality tactical brake is much better at reducing recoil than a radial. BOTH ARE VERY LOUD.

Just note that shooting sabots through a brake ...... could ....... cause injury to bystanders if they're close. Its the EXACT reason why brakes are NOT allowed at Friendship or any other organized matches. IIRC, it was a radial brake being used and a piece of the sabot went through the brake and hit the person shooting next to them. All brakes were immediately banned from organized matches.
Tactical brakes can be even worse. Its known that when using veggie wads, that the wad can fly out of the brake in either direction, right or left. I know of one person who was shooting next to a building and the veggie wads went into the siding on the building.
Not trying to scare anyone, but just a warning to be careful when at the range.

Notice the sabots in the photo below. One was shot through a radial brake, the other without the brake.

Thanks Ed. I guess a radial brake has round holes. A tactical can have any configuration. Is that it in a nut shell?

Tactical has side ports and a radial has radial ports (360 degree).

Thanks Ed. Hence radi.
