[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1335484, member: 27307"] Remember that the smaller angle of view through your scope shows more apparent movement than if you use a larger angle of view. The higher the magnification, the smaller the movements that are noticeable. Less muzzle rise is achieved by smaller cartridges, lighter bullets and smaller amounts of powder. This can be augmented by a more efficient side and top discharge muzzle brake. While the Vais is a very good brake, a brake which allows the gas/plasma to escape [U]quickly[/U] (dump) from the sides and top will control the muzzle rise and recoil better. There are some very good videos which compare the efficiency of brakes and a couple of good articles: [URL]http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/06/24/muzzle-brakes-field-test/[/URL] [URL]http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/08/21/muzzle-brake-summary-of-field-test-results/[/URL] The JP standard profile compensator is one that works well: [IMG]http://cdn-us-cf2.yottaa.net/53ff2f503c881650e20004c9/www.brownells.com/v~13.87/userdocs/products/p_452000055_1.jpg?yocs=p_&yoloc=us[/IMG] But any of the 'quick discharge' style brakes will serve the purpose. If I was going to conserve muzzle action, I would suggest using the 6.5 Creedmoor with the Berger 130 gr. Hunter bullet and Re-23. But you could also use the 6.5x284 cartridge and load the same bullet. Increasing the weight of the rifle helps with defeating rearward recoil. [/QUOTE]
