weatherby accubrake on vs off

[gsteve]

I tested groups / loads in my 340. Shot all with the brake on. Removed it to go on my hunting trip and check POI , i was surprised to see it moved 5" right and high. BTW accubonds and grand slams shot 2-2.5" Barnes 225s 5/8s.

Totally normal.
I had a MKV in 340Bee, never did shoot as well with the brake on as I would have liked.
Sold it and built a 340Bee on a switch barrel Winchester Model 70 Stainless classic action. Has barrels in 300/340/375Bee. Shoots itty bitty little groups with all 3 barrels.
Love Weatherby cartridges, just not their rifles.

Make a choice, shoot with brake on all the time, or take it off. I've never found the 340 to be harsh in recoil. The 375….well that's a whole different animal.

Cheers.

I think he was just saying the groups shifted, not grew and there was a huge difference in what type ammo it liked.
