What does it mean, "doing your part"?

I have had pretty good luck with Lilja heartbreakers from 300 WM to 6.5 grendel
Before you buy a brake..turn your scope down to 12 or lower....lowest power that allows you to still see your target.... you'll have a much better chance of seeing your impacts...just me
Take a look at the Fat Bastard brake. A lot depends on the weight of your rifle.

I shoot a 300wm in a A bolt, using there boss brake system. And am able to stay on target way better than without.
For my 2cents this is a great brake, I'll attach a file of my testing it shooting my 300 WinMag, the recoil is near to nothing if you can believe it.
The break is from, https://muzzlebrakesandmore.com/ported-brakes for the record I do not own any stock in this company nor do I get a commission off any sales from it. The brake has side ports as expected plus it has ports on the top side. Once you watch the video I think you'll be sold on which brake you'll want. The video is in slow motion too so you can get a good look at the recoil.

I hold my rifles like I would have BB gun. In order to see the hits I modified the muzzle brake with a little file. Little filing here and there and pretty soon I could see the impacts and didn't have to hold on to my rifle any more than you would a BB gun.
Might try practicing different gun control practices. I shoot marmots with a 300win mag, 308, 25/06/AI, 243AIs, 6XCs, 22-250AIs,22-250, 223etc. I make all my own brakes and can see impacts on every one of them down thru 100yds. And they are just traditional 3side port variants anc nothing glamorous. Wouldn't be fun nor practical to shoot any of those if you couldn't see impacts.

memtbYes for sure. Looks like you do a great job! I put an old Atlas brake made by Oden Works on a couple days ago and after drilling a couple of the holes on the top out a bit its helping a lot. Forgot i had it on a 6.5 Grendel AR 15 I have.
