[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2926068, member: 15054"] I did not buy the break..it came with the rifle. I did some testing with my 243 vs the .223 and the reduced load 87gr 243 kicks a bit less than the .223. The .223 with the brake is very minimal. I noticed no muzzle rise. I clocked it at almost 1:00 ..this eliminated the twisting motion also. Groups were better yesterday at 100 yards.. 200 yards it was worse in all my rifles.. wind was really churning. I will say this my 30-06 really needs a Brake on it. that thing just punishes me. I must have zero set around 275-300 yards. As my 155gr A-Max hand loads printed 2.2" high @ 100 and 2.4" high at 200 yards. Really odd shooting it like that hitting the same spot at 100 and 200. My H4895 and IMR4064 loads hit the same area. The 4895 kicked harder..I have shot RL15 and it hits the shoulder much easier. [/QUOTE]
