[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1488907, member: 9281"] I’ll bring up one thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet. And this is probably not a consideration for you unless you’re shooting past 800-900 yards. Hornady has discovered through their 2000 yard Doppler Radar testing that muzzle breaks negatively affect the ballistic coefficient or drag curve of a bullet. They found that with no muzzle break b/c’s were the best. Radial breaks tended to have a lesser negative affect than slab brakes. So technically a break could create a tiny bit of instability (gas disrupts bullet) when leaving the break. This causes a lower point of impact due to the extra drag created by minor imbalance induced from muzzle break gases. I can see where this could affect grouping as well. Just another factor to think about. [/QUOTE]
