Muzzle Brakes??

I posted a pic of a 8 bore mould I made on the Moulds index earlier.
I thought I’d post a pic of a Hillbilly muzzle brake I made for my brother about 25 yrs ago.
He has a Ruger #1 with a full dia Douglas blank on it.
45-120 3-1/4” Sharps.

300 grn HP’s Rem at 2900 fps
I thought the 4 set screws should hold it on but when we shot it the muzzle blast sucked the 1lb brake off and it tumbled through the snow.
About 20 yds or so.
We were a lot younger then and thought it’d be neat to try.
Young and dumb.
Thanks

A 350 at 2900 would probably have the same effect on a Coyote as 50 gr TNT out of a 223 on gopher . Just poof red mist . :) :)
