I have been watching many videos on brakes. Most of which are comparisons done on smaller caliber guns. I have a Seekins Havok PH2 in 6.5 PRC with their Seekins brake. It seems to jump up enough that im not seeing my impacts from 100 out to 1000 yards. So long story short lol has anyone found a brake or compensater that has helped keep them on target? Thank you in advance.
Muzzle Brakes?

Yes (MBM, EC Tuner Brake, JP Coulee compensator, Piercision Muscle Brake, etc.), and a few are out there. Check out the similar threads below. An effective muzzle brake serves two purposes: a reduction in felt recoil and a reduction of muzzle rise. Often, the latter is not realized. Being able to spot your target on impact is priceless.
For a lighter gun in a 6.5 PRC I can't see any brake allowing you to see impacts at inside of 300 yards. It's rather difficult to see impacts with very heavy rifles and low recoiling 6mm cartridges at those distances. For PRS I use a precision armament hypertap, and it reduces recoil and muzzle rise very, very well.
SRS's line for TiPro and SS Pro brakes are some of the best I've used. Terminators are also very good.

The break on my Weatherby Backcountry 6.5 RPM work great to reduce recoil ,but the gun is so light it still jumps around.

how are you shooting? are you shooting off of bags on a bench or are you using a bipod? No brake will work unless you are doing your part also
With most of the modern cartridges spotting impact inside 300 yards is almost always possible, especially with a brake. Even with muzzle lift, impact takes place while the target is still within the sight picture. It takes a conscious effort during practice to keep your eye open as a part of your follow through.

That was my thought. You have to have a good position and load the bipod.
Off a atlas bipod mostly with a rear bag. I tried a EC Tuner Break with no change. I think ill order a MPA-DN5 and a hellfire match today . I have seen both on peoples rifles at our range here but the hellfire match is obnoxious to be around lol. but for hunting that shouldn't be a problem. Thank you everyone
