.358 Hoosier Muzzle Break

[ctbreitwieser]

Im wanting to put a brake on my .358 Hoosier so I can keep my scope on target after shooting. It doesn't seem that anyone makes a muzzle brake in .358cal, so im considering buying a DPMS Miculek brake in .308. Then chuck it up in the lathe and open the hole to about .370-ish(?). Reviews on the DPMS brake seem positive, and I am still surprised the recoil reduction on mine in 5.56. My only worry is that by opening the hole, I will lose effectiveness.

Does this sound like a good idea, or is there another option I should look at?

Dang that's quite a wait. How do you like performance?

its brutal load, but it does a great job at taming recoil. When I ordered they were in stock. I bet if you do some digging someone has them.

I thought a .358 muzzle device was a suppressor?

Cant find enough bullets to try and work up a sub load. I have a thread I posted probably a year ago about making a sub load and trying to put it through a 9mm can, but it didn't get much attention.

Wouldn't magna porting help with the gun raring?

Check out this thread. I am having one made for my 458 SOCOM. I think it is right up your alley.

I gots me a mill and a lathe. Find a design you like, and we can work something out

AJ Brown put one on my .358 Hoosier when he built it. I am very happy with the recoil.

I have my own lathe, which is why I'd like to do the work myself. If I had a mill I'd just make one, but I don't. I have a friend with a mill, maybe I'll see if he can cut the ports in it.

Right on, put up the pics when it get it done

I have the capacity right now if you or your friend aren't able to get around to it. I have a South Bend Heavy 10 and an Index Super 55, what are you guys rocking?

I've got a 14x40 precision Mathews with DRO. He's got a grizzly lathe, don't remember what size, and I forgot what the mill is, but I'm thinking it's a Bridgeport.

Right on, between a lathe and a mill, there's not a whole lot you can't make yourself.
