[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2072147, member: 10755"] My 338-416 Rigby Improved has a Beast brake on it. I have to use ear plugs and ear muffs otherwise I get a headache and ringing ears. When hunting though, I take the brake off unless I’m shooting from prone, too much recoil to shoot it without the brake on it. Has a 32” barrel 1:9.5” twist. I have only ever broken in barrels while doing a middle load and finding seating depth and primer preference. I do this first, powder choice is done after seating depth. I choose 3 powders that are the top performers velocity wise. It seems to work for me, we don’t have the choice you Yanks have in regard to powder selection, but Hodgdon powders are made here and very plentiful usually. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
