[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2036545, member: 307"] I have similar experience with Witt Machine brakes. I blew my first one (.300WinMag) off at my range (read as; farm field) and didn't realize it until I got home. I was doing drop testing (300, 500, 750 and 1000yds) and it was my last shot. It was easy enough to find and was only 30-40yds from my shooting position. In all fairness and defense to Witt; if I had installed it as the instruction said, with blue locktite, this would not have happened. I took it off to clean it and figured "what the heck, I think it'll be fine without LT', nope, my bad as they say. I re-installed it properly and never had anymore problems. I shot that WinMag barrel out and ordered another Witt brake for the Pac-Nor barrel that I put on. Installed properly or course, no problems. That original brake, I install on a Rem 700P in 7mmRM. It was a tight fit on the barrel, so I didn't use LT again. First shot at my 100yd range, off it came. Installed right, no problems. In fact it has made the 700P quiet enjoyable to shoot! I shot some 160gn old school Partitions in it Sunday w/max Retumbo load and recoil was diminished to about the .243 level. Very pleased with their products. I'm trying to get the wife or son to order me another as a Christmas gift for my 270Win. No, that doesn't kick too terrible but I like 'em. The Pac-Nor barrel ws chambered with the 215gn Berger in mind but I run the 212gn ELD-X's in it at 3070ish and have had great results on whitetails. I really wanted to try the 225gn ELD-M but I came across a good deal on the 212's and bought 5 boxes cheap. [/QUOTE]
