[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1243860, member: 7999"] Got my rifle back on Wed with the medium Pain Killer installed. Had Rhian turn it down to minimum specs to lighten it up a bit. Turning it down lessens its effectiveness a bit, but I just would rather have less slab out on the end of my barrel. Did not have time to load develop this one so I just threw together a load of 105g rl33, Fed 215, under the 285g Hammer Hunter at a vel of 3115fps. This is a Sako 995 with a 30" Lilja Sendero contour barrel chambered in 338 Lapua imp. Crossed my fingers and headed to the range. Rifle shot great, thanks to Bigngreen. Held sub moa out to 1000 very nicely. This load is very mild. Primers still completely round, should be able to get quite a bit more out of it. Now to the part that matters. Recoil in now quite a bit less that what it was. I can set up firm behind the rifle and just lightly touch the stock with my trigger hand and nice cheek weld. More or less a free recoil. Don't get me wrong it is still a big rifle, but it no longer hurts. I can now have a range session with this rifle and not get any worse for the wear. I would say that the recoil is like a 308 win. With the other brake it was about the same as the light weight Cooper 325wsm running 221g Hammers at 2900fps that we just finished loading for a customer. That rifle was un-braked. Not fun to shoot. I am very happy with what I have now. My days of experimenting with other brakes are over. Not on my dime anyway. Headed out this morning to see if I can drop a Hammer on my first one of the year.
