[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 903107, member: 1441"] There is no switching back and forth with the brake, I had it and screwed it on for the first and only time, and because I did it on the range, I was checking to see if it would change the POI significantly. The strange thing that then happened was that the first two shots, which could both be considered cold bore, having a good five minutes between them in near freezing temps, were on top of each other at 300 yards, the first was without brake and the second was with brake. Both these shots however were off by half a MIL, then, the rifle went back to shooting to the zeroed POI, and continued to do so for the whole LR session of 25 rounds, from 310 out to 800 yards. Previously, the rifle had behaved in a similar manner. Now that I have redone the bedding and reinforced the forend, as per the previous post, I hope the cold bore will be consistent. Just for keeping tabs on the cold bore shots I have prepared a big (40x40") gong to hang at around 600 yards from my house so I can check on it without having to get out for a full blown range session.
