Maybe it's not for you then :ORLY:....try shooting a lightweight big magnum with a stout load you'll want all the recoil reduction you can get. With any type of brake it's a trade off and a braked...

You are shooting a 53 grain projectile, try it with a 180 grain, there is a BIG difference

Personally I feel there's more to be gained by shooting a larger plate rather than a small plate; as long as you are honest with yourself and log every shot placement - better information is gained...

You may also find a powder in the burn rate range of 2217 works well. My previous wsm liked rl25 with 168 bergers. My saum shoots the 168 lrab at 2900 with 62 grains of rl22. 64.5 g of rl22 with...

Im inclined to agree. Most hunters just sight in with a few shots and then shoot a series of one shot groups at animals. Thats not to say that the theory in this thread isn't correct, and I fire a...

Fitted a new scope to the Bergara this week Athlon Midas BTR Gen 2 4.5-27×50 so took it to the range today to sight in. I used some old 150gn hand loads to get it on paper (shots 1, 2, and 3) then...
