[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 331322, member: 2736"] Darrin. The muzzle break issue is a personal requirement depending on how recoil sensitive you are. With a #7 tapered barrel 26'' to 28'' you don't have to install a break unless you are recoil sensitive . (It's not a macho thing it's just some peoples nervous system will handel more than others) I don't have much of a nervous system apparently because I shoot my 416 Buff without one but the fun goes out of it after around 50 rounds with over 80 ft/lbs of recoil. A break does help spotting the hit but it also increase the noise. The sendero contour is about the same as a 5.5 shilen or a # 6 Lilja Most barrel makers build a barrel in a sendero taper and all you have to do is ask them. 3000 ft/sec is possible with a RUM size case capacity but not with the Win Mag with out over pressure loads. I use a lot of the Remington brass and good luck with it because I don't over pressure it. Lapua brass seems to be the best but it is not available in for the RUM. I hope this helped.
