[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1875490, member: 2736"] I built it with a 22'' #4 contour to keep it short and light. also was hoping for 3000 ft/sec with the 200 grain but just could not get there and keep the pressure reasonable. And yes I did install a muzzle brake after several hunts when after the first shot the rifle ended up at about 11 o'clock for follow up shots on other pigs and coyotes. Recoil was brisk but manageable without the brake so I installed a brake with top ports and the results were just the opposite and all I could see was the ground so plan "C" went into effect, and I built a brake with no top ports and the problem was solved. Here is the test/Video we performed to analyze this problem and come up with a solution. [MEDIA=youtube]_W4HviShfEs[/MEDIA] Now control is very good and recoil is very mild. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
