How do you like the HMR-PRO? I just bought one in 300 WM but have not had time to work up a load for the new 300. Been shooting a Winchester 70 in 300 WM for years. H-1000, 185 gr spbt ,cc'ing Mag prim, 79gr Gris powder
You win this debate, lol. Not every shot we take requires perfect form, and there are times there will be no shot if we have to get into a perfect position to pull it off, and in these times recoil reduction just may help.
I'll solve this whole thing for you right now, I have a self timing Area 419 hellfire 6.5 brake sitting idle, pm me your address, I will ship it to you to try for yourself. Run a test next weekend with and without it on if your Bergara is threaded. Send it back when done, I can't see how a muzzle brake could get damaged.
Thanks, LMAO, getting a general consensus on some things becomes futile at times. And even if you opt to go the direction of the majority, it still may not be your cup of tea, sometimes you just have to jump and see where you land.
They sure work on a 50 cal.
He is shooting a creedmoor.
Yeah, but creedmoors shoot themselves. There is no reason the op can't be spotting his shots through a spotting scope while the creedmoor fires the rounds.
A muzzle brake if properly timed will offset the muzzle climb by diverting some gas at a downwards angle. This will negate muzzle climb to a degree. If your brake is well engineered such as say an MBM bastard, or a V6G Epsilon in the appropriate caliber you will gain a muzzle flash hider as well. This may or may not influence your decision. However please visit the MBM web site and view the videos on line. The are very compelling and did influence me to purchase a tune-able brake.(no crush washers needed here) Alignment is very straight forward and very easy to accomplish with out any additional tool to be purchased. (barrel vise, specialized tooling or anything else for that matter). Now the down side ,you will experience a more robust noise level from said muzzle blast,as so will your shooting neighbors. It can become so intense as to incite them to complain about the noise levels to the RSO. Fortunately with some manufactures there are ways to mitigate that level of noise. Look at the VG6 Epsilon web site for details. Yes you will experience a degree of time to reacquire your target without the use of a brake and when shooting for either follow up shots at game or in competition, both of which require perhaps a second shot immediately and lost seconds can never be recalled, well I will go on record as stating the obvious that they do far more than just looking cool, but rather perform a perhaps much needed service depending on in the case of say game you may not get another chance at that one in a lifetime opportunity. OBTW did I mention the extra 2' - 3" added to your barrel which will increase the initial MV while only adding a few ounces of weight to your weapon.
