[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 2658186, member: 35100"] I've experimented with my Tikka in 270 WSM between what I call a "tight hold" and a "light hold" -- more like free recoil. My loads are far more accurate with my "tight hold" than with my light hold. So -- yes I've found controlling recoil is advantagious for accuracy as long as you hold the rifle consistantly the same way with the same pressure wherever you're touching the rifle. However, I've also had a muzzle brake on a .338 Win Mag I once owned and I'll never have another one because of the severe muzzle blast. It was so very loud, I was afraid to hunt with it because I won't wear hearing protection when I hunt! [/QUOTE]
