Muzzle Brakes?

Looks like it works about like most muzzle brakes. The OP needs to practice more with his rifle but if he has tons of money to waste he can keep buying.

@Charles13 you can laugh but sometimes the truth hurts. I have shot a lot of magnums in my times and never an issue with a good brake. Have fun spending money chasing the unicorn. LOL

If its just a target rifle add some weight to forend. Most target rifles are tanks for a reason. To mitigate recoil, spot shots and follow bullet trace. IJS my PRS rifle is 22 lbs and its a 6.5x47 lapua. Target never leaves reticle

Its a Seekins PH2 hunting rifle at around 9 pounds all acc's added. I Was lucky enough to get some help from a local gunsmith here and its helped a bunch. Just working on how i hold and load the rifle. Ended up using an Atlas 6.5 compensator by oden works i had on a ar15 and im seeing most all shots make contact with paper and steel. At 100 yards i still miss a few tho. Thanks for the help folks. Truely thankful.

Try to follow through on trigger pull if your not already. Meaning take up slack break the shot keeping trigger to the rear for a good pause on target, then release, keep your body inline with the rifle, not with your torso and legs off to the side. Just small fundamental improvements make a big difference.

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

I have the EC Tuner brake on my 338 Thor, and it works as advertised in reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise, except I have not done any load tuning.

Your field of view is reduced significantly at 20X. Try at 10-12X as Brother @skipglo recommended. IIRC, this is also the snipers' sweet spot. Good luck!
 
I tried so hard to avoid getting a brake but I finally caved and picked up a browning recoil hawg used locally. It exceeded my expectations, it works incredibly well for both recoil and muzzle flip. Especially for one that doesn't put me in the blast cone at all. I would consider buying one at full price and I was a paycheck away from buying a suppressor to avoid wasting money on a brake. I'm shooting a 7saum with 180s with heavy barrel and 34 oz scope. I'm not self spotting but I'm not losing the target either. If was on a bench with real aids instead of on the deck I probably would be self spotting. It's made that much difference. So maybe at least keeping the target for you.
