[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 344736, member: 2740"] Yeah, thought about checking the twist and I will but I am at work right now. There were some copper streaks on the orifice of the brake, Chad. Even a 1 in 12" twist should stabilize those bullets enough to not go completely sideways at 25 yards I would think. Either way something is screwy and the brake definitely wobbles when being threaded on and off. There is a little spacer washer on the base of the threads for indexing and when the brake is tightened down the slight gap there looks uneven so either the brake is crooked, sloppy threads or the milling of the barrel shoulder at the base of the threads is crooked. None of those things would cause keyholing with the brake off, though. Simplest scenario is that it is a really slow rifling twist which still makes it useless to me for long range elk hunting. If that is not the case, I'm hoping that cutting and recrowning will do the trick. [/QUOTE]
