[QUOTE="L2land, post: 2849531, member: 126164"] I can say that I see my 168 gr bullets hit fairly easily past 400 yds on an 8lb 7/08. That’s a lot less powder than your .284 though. I usually shoot it off my pack with the sling wrapped around my forearm instead of a bipod. Have you tried that method? You can get a lot of forward pressure that helps keep the recoil in line without more weight. At least that’s my take on it. Maybe it’s just because it’s an easier recoiling cartridge. If that doesn’t help I’d stick with your power range and add weight vs a brake. It sounds like the horse does a lot of the hauling. [/QUOTE]
