Brake recommendation

[pawhitetail]

I'm getting a howa 1500 in 300prc with a threaded barrel. I'd like to put a brake on it and I'm looking for recommendations. I don't think I want a radial brake for possible prone shots on a hunting gun. It also has a standard sporter barrel and I would like something not overly huge in size compared to the barrel

Don't do a brake do a suppresser

Check out Oregunsmithing. I got my brake for my Howa Superlite from them.

When I first shot my .375 RUM I didn't have a brake on it and the recoil was so bad that I couldn't zero the scope. I didn't shoot it again until I had a KDF muzzle brake put on it, and I re-stocked it with a stock that fits me. A few years (and hunts) later I also put a recoil reducer in it's buttstock.

I also have a KDF brake on my .300 Wby. These brakes are the same diameter as the barrels at the muzzle. They kick up a little dust when shooting prone, but I've shot a lot of animals prone with them and the dust isn't a big fator.

These KDF brakes reduce the felt recoil enough that shooting my .375 RUM prone or on a bench doesn't bother me, and the felt recoil of my .300 Wby is less than felt recoil of my 7mm RM with the same fit and weight stock.

I was on the phone today talking to Howa to get my stock replaced because of the paint chipping. They recommended this same brake company.

Since you already have a threaded muzzle I'd just pick up a side port self timing brake. Quite a few of them on the market now. I would stick with your initial thought and skip the radial brake. Don't forget ear plugs for yourself and anyone hunting with you...
