[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2439332, member: 101791"] I have only one rifle that has a brake on it. It was added to the end of the barrel and not cut back. I have another rifle coming (someday) with a barrel length 2" longer or 26" barrel plus brake. Both will or are going to use the same basic case and powder loads (to be determine in load make up). The second rifle being built will have 30" barrel length with a 7 twist rate in a 6mm/289AI case. Now I am having it built to accept a suppressor or a muzzle brake. Which will make an extremely long rifle, and I realize that too. The barrel is from Bartlein (Heavy Palma) 32" to be cut back to 30". I fine this very interesting, because I had given it some though on how or what might be a problems with either type of use. I was wondering with the suppressor, what it could do or what problems it would create. In working up load for those two rifles I will have to see what happens. I will sure take it into account when building a load. Thanks for the insight. The other is I generally use H powders to reload with. (H435/H4831/H1000) and non mag primers. What I haven't seen was suppressors like the Army had in Vietnam had. They were about 18" long and about 1-1/2 O.D. if I remember correctly. [/QUOTE]
