So I received the new brake already. Pretty fast shipping. Here's the pics of the difference between the 2.

Apparently midwayusa corrected it some time ago. It currently does not have the 300wm as an approved caliber. Yes they are sending me the bigger and heavier brake for magnums. No charge. Nice to see a company with good customer support. It is becoming rare lately.

So I got a response from Ultradyne and they said it has happened to them as well and thats why they came out with the Apollo LR brake for the magnum rifles. The guy asked for my address and said he would send me one for free. Which was very cool of them. I never did ask thinking I bought the...

It's possible, unfortunately no way to tell. I didn't even think about that. I guess I expect these bullets to be near perfect

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'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...

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

Has some carbon build up on the end

I didn't clean it before going. I had recently went and only shot about 20-30 rds, then went again a week later. I'll take a pic of the crown and post it

The brake was installed by a gunsmith when I replaced the barrel. About 300 rds through both.

Wasn't loose, it took 2 wrenches to break it loose. I was thinking it was pressure because I didn't see any bullet markings in it and all the shots were pretty straight. I was also thinking if it did hit the brake then the bullet would bounce like a pin ball machine and blow the whole thing off...

I sent a message off to the company but haven't heard anything yet.

Some additional pics

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...

I've read that these are not easy to get to group. Might switch to 208 eld-m or 210g bergers
