[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2337765, member: 116181"] [USER=113404]@BFD Guns[/USER] didn't want to hijack the tread you mentioned this in. Finally shot my EC Tuner Brake yesterday - 6.5mm model on a 6.5CM. At this point all I can say with any level of certainty is that it does change the shape of groups. The fact that the groups were all significantly larger than when a 12oz suppressor was hanging off the end of the barrel not withstanding..... I liked it. I put 2# of scuba weights in the stock at the same time I added it so not sure if the weight or brake or combination made the difference in recoil, but there is essentially none left at this point. I have enough rounds left over in this batch after running the EC tuner/brake through all ten settings to try the ATS tuner behind the suppressor next. It weights 6oz and will be held in place by the can, so I don't know what I'm expecting there. This rifle is my Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range, it always had an annoying feel to the recoil. Can't describe it well other than that it felt "hollow" and like the stock was flexing behind the grip on every shot. The weight I used was lead shot in a nylon pouch, I packed it up in front of the cheek riser, and whatever was making the hollow "twooong" sound/feel on each shot is now gone. I have a video of the brake while shooting, and the blast pattern is a very nice ~30* angle towards the shooter with a smaller amount going forward, so recoil-wise I bet the brake is effective. Shot-spotting wise it was easier to stay on target. I noticed I was ending up off to the right when I got back in the scope and sure enough I was offset to the left behind the gun, so I'll say it might have amplified by poor body position - not a negative at all, my fault and it made it pretty easy to see that.
