[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1489357, member: 26077"] If that is your issue then don't put a brake on it. But you have received excellent advice. Free recoil is NOT the answer with heavy boomers. Load the front rest, make sure this isn't flexing your forearm so it touches the stock, and hold down the forearm. Without a brake you MUST control the muzzle lift and the amount of muzzle lift will vary by how hard the ground is that your bipod is on, unless you control the fore end.If you want the ultimate demonstration of that take a 460 Weatherby, lay it across a good rest and use a rear bag. Do not control the forearm, just ride it back and fire a group., Now hold the forearm tightly. You will get a nice group of the same size 5 to 6 inches lower. I have done the same with stoutly loaded 45-70s and got the same out come. [/QUOTE]
