$75.00
The Dead Air DA155 XEMAX muzzle brake is a precision recoil management solution built for magnum rifle shooters who refuse to let muzzle rise compromise their follow-up shots. Engineered for .338 Lapua Magnum rifles, this brake features the robust XEMAX design that Dead Air has proven in the field across extreme-range hunting and competitive shooting platforms. The compact 2.06-inch overall length keeps your rifle balanced without unnecessary bulk, while the 1.125-inch diameter design integrates cleanly with modern rifle profiles. With 3/4"-20 threading, installation is straightforward on any .338 LM barrel already configured for this standard bore diameter.
Muzzle brakes excel at reducing felt recoil and muzzle climb, especially valuable on a cartridge as potent as the .338 Lapua. That means faster target reacquisition, less shoulder punishment during long shooting sessions, and better precision on follow-up shots—critical whether you're dialing in at a thousand-yard range or hunting in demanding terrain where a second shot matters. The black finish stands up to field use without calling attention to itself.
This is a straightforward, no-frills brake: it does one job and does it well. If you're running a .338 LM and want genuine recoil control without the complications of a suppressor setup, the XEMAX delivers the performance you expect from Dead Air's reputation in sound and recoil solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this brake fit my .338 Lapua Magnum rifle?
The DA155 XEMAX is threaded 3/4"-20, which is the standard for .338 Lapua Magnum. Confirm your barrel is chambered for .338 LM and already threaded 3/4"-20 before ordering. If your barrel has different threading or you're unsure, contact us for guidance.
What's the difference between a muzzle brake and a suppressor?
A muzzle brake redirects gas to reduce recoil and muzzle rise immediately. It does not reduce sound the way a suppressor does. If you're looking for hearing protection, a suppressor is your solution; if you want pure recoil management and faster target reacquisition, this brake is the answer.
How compact is the XEMAX compared to other brakes?
At 2.06" overall length, the DA155 is built for hunters and precision shooters who need effective recoil control without excessive muzzle length. It keeps your rifle balanced and maneuverable while delivering genuine performance on a magnum cartridge.
Is installation user-friendly?
The DA155 threads directly onto a 3/4"-20 barrel. If your barrel is already threaded for this pattern and you have the tools to time and secure it properly, installation is straightforward. We recommend a qualified gunsmith if you need help with installation or timing.
