I like breaks on my rifles from 6.5 X 284 up to my 338LM! They really help me see what's going on. And if you look at the chart above BAT actions rule!
Does professional rifle shooter and builder count?PredatorSlayer is 100% correct. Putting on a brake to stay on target is akin to slapping an 8 oz trigger because you have no trigger control. To some degree you can buy a solution. Or instead you can improve upon your fundamentals. It doesn't bother me what other folks decide is the correct answer for them.
As a professional engineer, I can say without pause that brakes do not increase the level of precision and/or accuracy of a rifle - not one bit. They merely help a shooter that is having problems staying on target, which starts and stops as a shooter problem.
How does a benchrest rest control muzzle flip?I would not be telling people in a public forum that you're an engineer that doesn't understand that muzzle flip occurs naturally and absolutely has an affect on point of impact regardless of shooter input
I almost gave you a like till you jumped on the bat bandwagonI like breaks on my rifles from 6.5 X 284 up to my 338LM! They really help me see what's going on. And if you look at the chart above BAT actions rule!
lol! Seriously?????????! With the rests I asked you about that you chose to ignore.How does a benchrest rest control muzzle flip?
Now you are saying that the purpose of a muzzle brake is to counter the muzzle flip from a rifle used with a bipod - you are all over the place scrambling to make your point. Poor form with a bipod and unnecessarily loading and torquing on the rifle is what causes the circular muzzle flip. Its a form and mechanics issue Ryan.
Me? 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and 7mm RM.PS, not being a jerk, but curious what calibers you long range shoot with.
That 7mag would be a dream to shoot with a brake. I've seen a great improvement with 2 I've put brakes on. Do you have a brake on any of them?Me? 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and 7mm RM.
All of them have a had a brake on them at one time or another, none of them do currently - i didnt notice a difference in accuracy, but I am not not recoil shy either. I also shoot a 300 rum that has never had a brake on it - 215's over a stiff load of retumbo - 1/4-1/2 moa rifle and load.That 7mag would be a dream to shoot with a brake.

The smiley face means I'm messing with you. They are obviously a nice actionI'm on no bandwagon..But I can read? I have a 22-250 25-06 6.5 X 284 300WM
338LM All of them have some legs!
None of those calibers need a brake, for sure. None would make anyone recoil shy except the rum. The rum .... a brake would definitely help. When I see guys saying 1/4-1/2 moa rifle, in a big caliber without a brake, I want to go to the range with them and see it.All of them have a had a brake on them at one time or another, none of them do currently - i didnt notice a difference in accuracy, but I am not not recoil shy either.
