I have never been a big fan of muzzle brakes, but that all changed yesterday. It was my first time out with my old Ruger M77 300wm that I had threaded and braked. Recoil reduction was just about unbelievable. Very effective brake design for sure.
This gun has laid down a few elk, and bloodied me up once from a prone shot, scope vs eyebrow . I liked the gun and caliber, but never really shot it enough to have full confidence in its capabilities. Used to be about a dozen shots was enough at the range. Recoil was.....harsh.
Yesterday’s range trip, 45 rounds. I would have shot more, but ran out of time. Took about 6 or 8 shots on paper to re-zero, since they pretty much disassembled the gun for threading.
we have steel at the club out at 300, and I beat it hard. Blasted dirt clods way out there too. Pretty sure I could put 100 rounds thru it without feeling it, just takes a while since I don’t let it get too hot.
A local shop did the work, and did a fine job. One complaint, I’ll definitely wear this bbl out and need a new one since it is so user friendly Now. A new one won’t cost that much, and the same shop can easily replace it with a better one.
muzzle blast/noise? I did not notice either, but I always double up ear pro with the loud stuff.
I would imagine you would not want to be right next to me, all that pressure is going somewhere.
Heritage Arms in Loma, Colorado did the work. I can highly recommend them, they are primarily a rifle shop.
