[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 902784, member: 30902"] Installing a muzzle brake will change your POI from what it was. If however the rifle is put back together properly it will not cause your cold bore POI to be all over the place. You may have to tweak your load because the harmonics of the barrel will be different than before installation but it can't make a shooter go bad unless something is very, very wrong with the installation such as being off center and the exiting bullet striking it. If you are switching back and forth zeroing without the brake and then putting it on to hunt, that is going to cause a serious issue in a lot of rifles because again, the harmonics of the barrel will be different with it installed vs just a thread protector installed. It sounds to me like somehow your action is binding and stressed due to either improper bedding or uneven torquing of the action screws. What kind of stock do you have and is it pillar bedded?
