muzzle brake

[walcat]

Can anyone recomend a good gunsmith to install a muzzle brake on an Omega muzzle loader?

Are you shooting saboted bullets? If you do (and plan to continue to) you can't install a muzzle brake. The sabot will catch in the ports of the brake, pulling it from the bullet before it exits the barrel and you'll have major accuracy problems.

Also, are you shooting 100 or 150 grain loads? The Omega is very accurate out to 100+ yards with a 100gr. load. The only people I know using magnum (150gr.) loads in the Omega are those who would rather see higher velocity and energy numbers (for bragging rights) than having sub-MOA accuracy @ 100yds.

Recoil with a 100gr. load and a 250gr. Hornady SST is about the same as a .22-250 rifle, which is minimal.

Just outta curiosity, but why do you want a muzzle brake on a muzzle loader?
