[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 154247, member: 10"] Eaglet, There was once upon a time I made a rifle chambered in my 510 Allen Magnum, made a huge 5 port muzzle brake for her as well, worked up loads to a very comfortable 2750 fps with the 750 gr A-Max and went out to shoot her. Very comfortable to shoot, much less recoil them my old LAR Grizzly 50 BMG with the 750 gr loaded to 2650 fps. Got to thinking, I wonder just how effective my brake design was and decided I would screw it off and put a round though the rifle just to prove to myself how effective my design was. I got down on the rifle and just before I pulled the trigger I realized I was about to throw 750 grains of bullet with 250 grains of powder out of a 33 lb rifle with no muzzle brake. My common sense over powered my ego in wanting to know how effective my muzzle brake design was working and I lifted the bolt and cleared the round. Moral of the story, have faith in yourself and your products, will keep you healthy in the long run by not doing stupid things!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Now I am not saying shooting an unbraked 338 ST is a stupid thing by any means it would certainly not be dangerous, Shooting an unbraked 510 AM would be another story. I would rather rely on common sense then luck to keep me healthy!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
