[QUOTE="woods, post: 230710, member: 6042"] Just broke it in yesterday with medium load of 83.5 gr IMR4350 behind 200 gr Accubonds and 210 gr Partitions. The brake worked really well. There was no blowback or pressure wave back in my face. The benches at the range at American Shooting Centers have 2 connected and separated by a plywood wall and each pair is separated from the next down the line by about 10'. I received no complaints or mean looks even when one fella was standing about 6' away talking to his buddy shooting at the bench, he never even looked around. As far as effectiveness I will have to say something worked. In addition to the brake I installed 2 of the Edwards recoil suppressors in the stock, they are removable but help balance that heavy barrel. The barrel is a 26" #5 contour Brux barrel, so with the heavy barrel, the brake and the recoil suppressors it is not a light gun. That being said, the gun kicked somewhere between a standard weight 30-06 and a standard weight 300 win mag. I had something to gauge it with since I was also shooting an identical Beretta Mato 300 win mag. As far as how it shoots, these are the last 2 strings [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/TARGETS/targets92808001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/TARGETS/targets92808002.jpg[/IMG] Now to load it up with some 225 gr TTSX's and RL22!
