The only reason for these new cartridges is that the older sisters (i.e. 6.5 creed vs 260 Remington and the 6.5 PRC vs 264 Remington Mag) were developed for the older slower twist barrels in the rifles built back in the day. The newer higher BC heavier bullets today won't group out of those...

I quit reading because so many opinions stated as facts. What works for one may not work for another. To answer the original question, brakes are not designed to improve accuracy from a mechanical point of view. The bullet is already gone by the time it would have any chance to impart...

I'm not sure if this will help but don't forget that you need to adjust for the ambient temperature outside.
