[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 492005, member: 2567"] I have a 300 rum with a brake and shooting 180's @ 3300 it has very little recoil. My 338 rum on the other hand, has about twice the felt recoil shooting 225's @ 3200. I am wondering if installing a different brake on my 338 would help. My current brake has about 3/16 diameter holes with 3 holes in one row and two in the next. My 300 break has slightly smaller holes, but has 4 holes in one row and 3 in the next. I just replaced the stock on my 338 rum to reduce some carry weight, and I like the new bell and carlson alaskan full length pillar bedded stock, but the recoil is worse, the stock came with a pachmeyer recoil pad and it is no where near as effective as the the limbsaver pad I had on my laminate stock. So my question is what would be the best way to tame some more recoil out of my gun, new brake or could I modify my current brake by making the holes (ports ) a little over sized? I am noticing since changing the stock, that if I have a ball cap on while shooting, the scope is now kissing the bill of the hat and it didn't use to. [/QUOTE]
