I just wished Ultradyne made this brake for an M1A. So I am usually banished to the far end of the range, down there where all the ‘loud’ rifles are.Īll in all this brake is worth every penny and then some. ![]() That might not sound like much, but it’s a country mile when you’re shooting at eggs handing in little string baskets at 500 yards. Also, before the brake was added, my groups at 500 yds were 1-1/4, so accuracy was improved by. The Apollo Max reduced felt recoil by about 50%, but your shoulder might tell you otherwise. Shooting Hornady ELD-M 168gr SMK rounds, I’ve dialed that little rifle in to groups of 3 you can cover with a quarter at 500 yards. The optic is a Primary Arms 4x14x44 FFP with the ACSS HUD reticle designed for the 168gr. I’m one year in, at a round count of 850, with a PSA AR-10 fitted with a Krieger match barrel. The Apollo Max is 100% what they say it is and does. I like to give the product a workout, to see if it’s all it has been claimed to be. I don’t like to review anything new and just out of the box. Atmospheric pressure, temperature and elevation also effect powder burn and expanding gas effects in the RGP. It is important to understand that RGP is not accurately definable as different ammunition using the exact same firearm/Muzzle Device combination will vary. Many high performance Muzzle Devices can turn gas at an extreme angle rearward and the shooter must be comfortable that body parts are positioned on the firearm so not to be negatively impacted. The more gas volume that is redirected the higher the performance of the Muzzle Device. RGP direction and volume are determined by the Muzzle Device ports. It is vital that the shooter understand the Redirected Gas Path (RGP) for the Muzzle Device they choose. Redirected gas away from the bullet path helps accuracy and speed for the shooter but also creates more sound, concussion, and unburnt gas particles to contend with. It is important for the shooter to understand that redirecting gas has consequences. Reduced Recoil and Muzzle Rise are both accomplished by redirecting expanding gases. A well-designed Muzzle Device will incorporate features to address Muzzle Rise as well. Reducing Recoil is often the primary goal and while low recoil reduces muzzle rise it does not totally eliminate it. Muzzle Devices offer numerous benefits to the shooter including allowing for more accuracy and quicker follow up shots.
