Hinterland muzzle brakes

[Westy]

Hi All just toying with the idea of trying a Hinterland muzzle Break on the new 6.5 ,I hear some discussion on here from time to time about them . Question is Are you using one and does it really work

[Chronos]

I have one in 7mm

Yes they work, I notice a bit more blast and noise, em especially under a roof but not so much in the field.

Worth buying to decide if you want it in film time but I decided my 7mm's dont really need it

Is your tikka a lite or varmint? The recoil reduction may be more noticeable on the a lite with the lighter barrel

Here's one on a .308…they work just fine

I use one on my .30-06 sometimes…it has never come off. Note in the video the small amount of dust been kicked up out the sides…working just as intended.

[North East]

.204 on the left and .30-06 on the right.

Yep…a .204.

Well if nothing else they certainly look impressive!!!

Thanks Steve and North for the feed back will ring tomorrow and get it on the way, have dealt with these guys before and I'll give them 2 BIG thumbs up.

Thanx again guys

Cheers Westy

Yep…a .204.

To stop the muzzle rise so you can see the impact?

[Streamline]

Not an owner, but I've used them a couple of occasions.

Can't give you a rundown compared to any other brakes but just a with or without, they definitely take the kick out of it compared to not using one.

[North East]

To stop the muzzle rise so you can see the impact?

Yep…the .204 is now like a .22, the .30-06 somewhere between a .223 and .243.

[Westy]

Well I hope you guys are right, just bought a couple for a few rifles !!!Can't wait to sit next to the guy who's shooting that 300 WSM and give him some of his own back!!!!!!

Actually everyone was lying.

It was an elaborate conspiracy to get you to waste your money on muzzle brakes.

Mwa ha ha ha!

I, not at all worried as" I SENT A P.M TO COVOK AND SHE STRAIGHTEN ME OUT SO I KNOW YOU BOYS ARE JUST PICKING ON ME" See I didn't mention this in my post above!!!!!!!

No it just started at 4-30 am for me and so my days almost done off to Silhouettes tonight so just chilling and doing what I do best

[North East]

It's just a muzzle brake and they work….simple as that.

[deye243]

any one have or have had one on a 7mm mag and did it stay put , i have been toying with the idea so i can see bullet strikes out yonder.

[handofcod]

Anyone using these on magnum calibres? I have a 300wsm and was tinkering with the idea of a clamp on muzzle break.

It can't be too much more stress than a 30-06 surely...?

You beat me to it!

[Chronos]

All these brakes are the same except for the bushing size that's renamed to suit your caliber and the barrel size.

That means the larger the volume of has the brake effect will be proportional. I have tested one in my. .284w, burning 50 gr of 2209 to launch a 180gr pill at 2700 fps and it effectively halves the recoil , I'd say on a 7RM the effect would be proportionally the same but I'm speculating.

Here's one on a .300 WSM.

Not much recoil.

I've used one on a 300 WM.

About .243 ish recoil with it so the benefit was definitely there.

This just belonged to a bloke at the range who was giving me a shot, I didn't used it long term but he didn't mention and issues and shot for a couple of hours with it.

[deye243]

has any one seen a change in group size with the Break on using the same load



cheers D

Smaller on .204 and .30-06. But I'm not to fussed about groups, as long as it is in the kill zone.

Presumably though that's down to you shooting better with less recoil, not the break itself making it more accurate.

[deye243]

whats recoil got to do with accuracy ?

[North East]

A lot…use one and you will notice the difference…I don't see anyone using a .338 Lapua without a brake on it…and they are effective on the smaller calibers.

[deye243]

well i ordered one today for my 7mm rem mag so i can hopefully see impacts out yonder.

i have only used a muzzle break on a 375 cheytac .

the 7mm it is going on will shoot a .3689moa at 760y wen i'm having a good day so it will be interesting to see if it does in fact improve things but i don't think this rifle is capable of any better.....

You'll probably see the vapour trails of the projectiles impacting.

[deye243]

i'm not having a go but my point was i don't think recoil has anything to do with accuracy or lack of , i have lost count of the times privately and at the club

when someone has said see if you can get this to shoot and it does it's just that they have a flinch .

i suppose what i'm trying to say is it's there flinch not the recoil that is the problem people just have to learn to roll with the rifle some call it follow through .


cheers

[North East]

Not everyone shoots at a club or a range…I never do…I don't give a damn about the noise…wear good hearing protection…but if you can watch the thermal trail of the projectile hitting it rocks. Anything that reduces recoil and makes you more comfortable has to be good.
