[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2210000, member: 26227"] Ftothhadd, I am so puzzled right now. I have a several rifles without a brake on them. between my two 270 wins and my two 270 WSM's the WSM's shoot soft with heavy slugs and nearly maxed out loads. I have shot many friend's 300 WSM's I own two 300 W/M's myself. the WSM shoots soft. what I can tell you is to find out of your have a length of pull suitable to your body. IF not then you need to add or subtract length to make it shoot as soft as I have experienced with my friend's 5.5 pound featherweight Winchester 70. I had a 270 winchester that did this exact same thing to me before adding 3/4" to the butt stock. it hammered my shoulder for all it was worth. after the additional length was added the 270 shot very soft. as for a muzzle brake, you can go that route after making sure you have the correct length of pull. there are small brakes that do a wonderful job and do not make it anything but loud to shoot. have a great one.
