[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1486239, member: 2736"] A muzzle brake "CAN" change the group size and/or the POI but strangely enough for the better In most cases. In the beginning of my muzzle brake testing, I had problems believing that brakes could Improve accuracy. What I found was the added weight effected the barrel harmonics sometimes moving the POI some and improving the group size most of the time. I believed that a lot of the accuracy improvement came from the shooter not being whacked by the rifles recoil and is able to better concentrate on hold and trigger control. I still believe that it does help the shooter some, but the added weight and length on the end of the barrel does help the group size in many cases. So with that being said, Test your rifle both with and without the brake to see the effects it has on your rifle. Note ; In my test, the lighter the barrel, the more effect it had. None were bad enough to have to eliminate one or the other, but you need to find out for your self. The results may surprise you. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
