[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 995752, member: 30902"] Bullet selection is irrelevant. Heavier bullets though mean increased energy, increased recoil, muzzle flip etc all else being equal. There's a reason you don't see any 6lbs benchrest rifles. Heavier is steadier and steadier is more accuracy all else being equal again. If you want to reduce muzzle flip you either increase the weight or put a muzzle brake on it. I don't suggest downward pressure from above but a pull downward is fine. Rifles are not that heavy usually. Holding it up isn't a problem, holding it down is not going to cause the same problems. Most of your issues can be solved very easily with a good side discharge brake that has top ports as well but none on bottom. [/QUOTE]
