Chris,
As you noticed they work great but are really good on longer heavier barrels. They're great for an all use rifle but for a dedicated 3gun rifle I'd recommend a true brake. I'm using the Rolling Thunder on my BCM 16" SS410. I was still getting some muzzle lift with mine so I've milled 3 holes at the top of the brake to make it shoot flatter, I'll see if it worked today/tonight at the NRA Range.
After handling mine and shooting yours Brett S. bought a BCM 16" SS410 w/13" Troy/VTAC FF tube, Ionbonded BCM BCG and a BCM Gunfighter CH. and will be getting a BCM lower next week...he's hooked!
I installed a Surefire 556K/212 muzzle brake on his, it's one I had laying around and I bead blasted it. It gives a nice contrast on the upper. I'm certain he'll be happy with the BCM I know I am, great shooting gun.
Later,
