Yes, I checked that also and noted it earlier. Also notice that people with 300 prc were using this same brake. So I figured it would be ok for 300wm. I guess I was wrong

It's a .30 Caliber... the same diameter it makes no difference, and pressure shouldn't either in those cartridges as far as design and material.Yes, I checked that also and noted it earlier.

Well, when the brake is rated for 308 class cases which yield muzzle pressures under 8K, and you shoot a cartridge with close to 14K of muzzle pressure, the OP may be lucky for this to be covered under warranty.Both cartridge .300 Win Mag and the .300 PRC at SAAMI of 64, and 65,000 respectively, so again shooting the .300 WM in it should make no difference, I think it is a bad metal problem in the brake now if it's not a clear and undisputable bullet strike.
I'm not looking for warranty replacement here. I'm just looking for answers. I've already ordered a different brake. Which to me does sound like a flaw or too much pressure for the brake can handle. Or even a combination of both. If they offered to replace that I definitely wouldn't use it on the same rifle. Most likely would use it on a 300 blkWell, when the brake is rated for 308 class cases which yield muzzle pressures under 8K, and you shoot a cartridge with close to 14K of muzzle pressure, the OP may be lucky for this to be covered under warranty.
Sorry, I was pointing out to a guy the differences between chamber and muzzles pressures. In your defense, making brakes with lower pressure ratings is a recipe for disaster.I'm not looking for warranty replacement here. I'm just looking for answers.

Oh!, for some reason I thought he'd said it was a .300 PRC brake and he had a .300 Wm,Well, when the brake is rated for 308 class cases which yield muzzle pressures under 8K, and you shoot a cartridge with close to 14K of muzzle pressure, the OP may be lucky for this to be covered under warranty.
I would be interested to know what you find out about the cause, as I have the same brake on my Remington 700 300WM Long Range. Hopefully there's no damage to your rifle.Rifle is a 300wm and was shooting at the range just an hour ago. Groups were wider than normal. Then really opened up about 3" left. The last shot was a ragged hole like it was sideways. Anyone seen this before and if so what the heck causes it? Have less than 300 rounds down this pipe and brake. The brake is Ultradyne Apollo Max. Thanks for any help.
Doesn't look like there is any damage. I will definitely post what the answer they give me. I emailed them Friday so I'll give it a few days.I would be interested to know what you find out about the cause, as I have the same brake on my Remington 700 300WM Long Range.
