[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 383595, member: 4191"] The addition of a brake could also change group sizes from a given handloaded or factory cartridge, especially on a thinner tubed (lighter-profiled) barrel, in my opinion. Understand that the principle of the boss adjustable brake or tuner on the end of browning factory rifles is to modify the harmonics of the barrel to match the loaded cartridge, in the effort to obtain optimal accuracy from that given cartridge. Adding a brake to the end of a barrel is no different than modifying the adjustment of the boss tuner/unit at the end of the barrel. I'd be pretty surprised if you didn't experience a change in performance of your pet handload. And if that handload was carefully developed over a period of time with significant sweat & blood - resulting in optimal accuracy in the firearm - I'd expect the addition of a brake to require some renewed tweaking and tuning of that pet handload in order to regain optimum accuracy. If it was just a plain-Jane factory loading, the addition of the brake probably has a 50/50 chance of improving or degrading accuracy. But if you've already developed a load that gives close to the best accuracy possible for your rifle, you may have to repeat load development in order to get back to the best accuracy possible following the addition of the brake on the end of the rifle barrel. That's my opinion, and others are equally entitled to theirs. [/QUOTE]
