[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1309529, member: 70559"] Jeffrthehunter, You can take it or leave it, but this is meant to be helpful. I have been called "weird" enough that I expect it here. Now to my solution.... I have two .270 Wins. One is a Savage and doesn't kick. The other is a Mark V six lug which kicks hard. I mean painfully hard. I had a brake installed. It helped but still kicked too much. It also went to the left about three feet at 100 yards. I installed a bigger brake and it really tamed it. It still went to the left about three feet. No matter if I'm causing it or not I wanted it to stop. So I took a small file and notched the left port farthest from the muzzle. It worked a little so I filed a few more strokes and viola! I could see the hits even on 20X. You can see the notch in the photo below in the far side of the muzzle brake. With all that posted I suggest you drill a 1/16" hole above the last port and check that. (I know from personal experience if you go too big you have to drill a hole in the bottom; which defeats the purpose of a side vent brake.) If that is not enough drill another in the next port. A 1/8" hole has more than twice the area of a 1/16" hole. That's why I would go with another small hole.
