Have been thinking of adding a brake cuz I suck so bad at seeing my impacts........guess not.

Wow...any idea what caused such a dramatic difference? I would expect the opposite...

Change in barrel harmonics. Load development was done without a break.

Yep need to develop load with brake installed.

I was confirming zero on my 22 before one of our matches and decided to throw on the suppressor. My 1 hole groups at 50 yards opened wayyyyyy up. Took that thing off and threw it back in the case LOL.

Agree, Kyle....I didn’t get the brake before Jason did the work up, we talked about it and the possibility of a change.
Also screwed one on to my .22 just for fun but haven’t shot it yet to see.

Judging by the group above I'd leave the brake off.

Yep, especially since you’ve been practicin’ so much! lol

midisize it ?
That's what they told me about my breaks ..

Not sure what that means, colt. ??

Midas Brakes for your truck......I'll have to admit

Thats Funny !!!!!


wish my rifle shot that good, mine groups like your "no brake" group all the time

Ha yea right!

Dunno about that, Buzz. I watched you center punch all 5 on a dot drill at Jason’s!.........or was that 6-7 rifles ago?

(Sorry, my friend, but try not to throw those softballs my way)

That's impressive Chris! If you shoot against me, please screw the break back on.

Nice

That was the .223 that Judd told him not to sell.

That rifle does shoot excellent.

Chris, what rifle and caliber was that? I've never seen it open the groups up that much.

Chad, re-barreled my .243 to 6 Creedmoor. (Trued 700 action, Bartlein bbl, Timney trigger)

Ok. How thick is the barrel? And what brake did you go with?

It’s amazing when you actually work up a load for a rifle versus just picking some random dude’s recipe.

Nice shooting Chris.

awe man

What brake is this?

You had to see that coming Buzz . It was a meatball and you’ve seen me, I ain’t passing up much food

Thanks Judd. Chad, it’s a Rem. Varmint Contour, 24”. Brake is a Delta (Live Oak Accuracy)
timeable with a nut and very slightly larger in diameter than bbl.

That brake has a lot of holes and a lot of openings. I would inspect the brake to see if there is any burrs or areas of the brake causing the muzzle gases to open up the groups. I've never seen a brake cause that bad of an accuracy change. On a thicker Varmint contour barrel, I would think there would be no change in POI or accuracy. Something else is causing it.
