[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 334361, member: 3733"] I've seen brakes mess up a rifles accuracy and the reasons were this. 1. Poor brake design, example shrewd varmit brake with holes only on the top 180 degrees, produced same results your' describing. 2. Not enough clearance on the baffle holes, or unconcentric clearance. I have seen the clearance holes "close up" over use. The gas cutting on a baffle actually can create a bur on the leading edge of the baffle, this bur then is pushed or displaced into the clearance hole. Causing a constriction, and unconsentric hole at the baffles leading edge. (if this was your problem typically the rifle shoots great but over time and use the accuracy deteriates.) Concentricity can also be the problem if the brake was installed unconcentric with the bore, due to a poor set-up on instal. Good brakes should have no effect on accuracy other than to allow you to shoot better. [/QUOTE]
