CaesarI, did that article mention anything about how Browning says it works?

Or did they just theorize about it without doing any definitive and proper testing then publishing the test results?

And if you reload changing charge weights a bit, you will get the exact same effects, not similar ones. Both methods change the point in the muzzle axis whip arc where the bullet leaves.

reynolds357, some muzzle brakes do send gas out 90 degrees or less to the bore axis. Especially those that are holes drilled or slots milled straight into the bore a bit back from the muzzle. Check these out, but note some are flash suppressors only:
