Have one built on the model 48, it's Noslers Mountain Carbon. Tried a few shots with it just as it came & quickly decided I need some help with recoil management.

1st step was getting a brake, I went with a self timing design, a Salmon River Solutions TI Pro 4. Had the raw titanium finished with their attractive Garnet bead blasting

Have yet to shoot with it installed, any idea on expected percentage of recoil reduction?

Without the cartridge known for the rifle , I would say 50% reduction. I have several of Nathan’s MBM brakes and do a really good job of taming big magnums versus the radial brakes.
 
Hard to say, but a good solid bottomed brake should reduce 50-60%.
Even that is a perception.
A brake does a much better job than a suppressor.
The more gas you have, the better the brake should work, as you have more gas to let the brake work.
 
A good muzzle brake will really reduce recoil and muzzle jump. Having 4-5 large ports will tame it down.

I shoot with both, banish 338 can and she’s heavy on the end of the barrel. 3100 plus is my fps without the can not sure of the fps with the can. The lab radar won’t pick it up. So I am certain a Garmin is in my future.

my rifles with a brake I position the labradar over the front of the scope . my rifles without brakes I position the labradar over the muzzle . I have a pic in this thread I linked to . this rifle has a brake . since I've been using this set up , the labradar seldom misses a shot .

Want to upgrade my chronograph

I have used my Oehler 35P chronograph for 25 years, I want to retire it and upgrade to a new chronograph. Budget is not a problem for me, I'm looking for one in the $500 and up range. Which chronographs have worked very well for you, any pro or cons? I hear LabRadar is great, but does it have...

I had issues based on where the muzzle was in relation to the LabRadar.
I moved to using a trigger, and no problems since. The biggest problem is if I forget to attach the trigger to the barrel or action before I shoot.
Here is one type: https://jklprecision.com/product/labradar-trigger-gen-2/

Some companies make them with magnetic mounts, which is what I use.
No missed shots with bare barrel, brakes or suppressors any more.
Cheaper than a new Garmin, if you like the LabRadar.
