[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2164051, member: 113003"] Mine has a McWhorter brake....I can’t speak to its effectiveness.....although I can’t imagine it doesn’t compare reasonably well. I’ve never removed it but I’m sure I could. This is the second smokeless I’ve owned from them...the first was 9-10 yrs ago and required a sabot. When they started making the bullet to bore I sold the first one and actually ended up with Allan’s, McWhorter’s owner, personal rifle....long story there, but he’d put 25-30 rounds through it, and I’ve put maybe 20. Don’t get wrong, the recoil is stiff, but I haven’t shot anything larger than a .280ai for years.....as I’ve aged I’ve moved away from the big boomers. So if I tried a 250gr bullet, where would u start with the same powder I’m shooting? Would the same charge of 74gr be too much for the lighter bullet?? Or is the weight of the bullet irrelevant to pressure? Thanks for reaching out. Maybe one day when I have some time I’ll tell about when I bought 4 different Savage smokeless muzz’s, and wasted an entire summer. When I discovered a custom smokeless I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. thanks again. [/QUOTE]
