Hinterland muzzle brakes

[Westy]

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.

i forgot to put this in that post

well today i scored a 21"x1/2" gong for $10 so i took it

out to me range , i didn't have much time to have a good

crack at it (kids gotta go here gotta go there ) but i

think i did alright considering there was a x wind of

10 to 15K on the 1st 2 shots i thought i missed the 2nd

but i was sure i herd the bing so i got on the radio to

my son (he was hiding behind a big red box tree so

he told me there was 2 touching) no wonder i couldn't

see it .

and then the wind just droped out like it does here on the coast

and i sent 3 down quick smart and i was impressed to say the least.

range 760y

WoW thats some fancy shooting ,I thought .766 @ 200 m was good today 3 shot group but that bloody Awesome!!!LOL used the Hinterland brake today for the first time and found it weird it was shooting 12' high but still center from the setting with out the break!!!! Bloody noisy in those tin sheds at SSAA but the felt recoil was pretty awesome and a vast improvement on the original rifle!!!!

12" high at what range? the brake will add a little velocity but it's not noticeable at shorter ranges

At a 100 m Chronos ????? Kinda high but it was 12" kinda freaked me out .I thought may be a couple but 12" was alot.looked for contact points but nothing and holes were perfectly round??? Go Figure

I've never experienced that with HSS brakes. In 2 calibers it only took 1 or 2 shots to zero, probably didn't have to adjust any thing. 12"..something wrong there.

i can only do that when the breeze is consistent or none i have a long way to go reading the breeze when it's wofty

can't wait to get the brake and give it a try so i can the hits

I reckon someone forgot the last time they shot their rifle was at longer ranges and they clicked back to their 100m zero, bt forgot the last turn of the elevation turret

seems like a lot of elevation, i couldn't put it down to the brake. the only way to know is to take it off again and check zero

Thats what i thought and sure enough thats what I did returned it to zero without the break and it was only shooting 1 inch high @ 100 ???? Will take it out and work on it tomorrow going to bed now It's got me stuffed

[Westy]

Well I didn't sleep a wink last night so I went down the shed early this morning and guess what, I think we have a winner??? I seated my pills 100 thou deeper on this load as they were getting better groups last time I was load testing!!! Dohhhh last lot 3.100 @ 44 grn of 2209 this lot 3.000 @ 44 grns of2209 plus a muzzle brake and I think the mystery is solved, well here's hoping. same old problem try changing to many things at once and this is what you get.Also when I measure the difference on the target was only still 6". ANYWAY LOOKS LIKE OPERATER FAILURE TO ME!!!!! lol

[meateater]

Well I didn't sleep a wink last night

Dreaming of muzzle brakes?

[North East]

Have you got that brake sorted yet?

[Westy]

Have you got that brake sorted yet?

All sorted was as normal operator error!!!!SNAFU post pick 2morrow

[North East]

You will not regret it.

Looks the goods. When you put it on take out the bolt and look down the barrel, you should not be able to see any part of the brake. Just a safeguard in case the wrong caliber insert was put in. You wouldn't want a bullet strike.

[mahna]

well mine rolled up today.

The unboxing!

[deye243]

hmmm i don't think it will be staying on this rifle .

[cruze82]

Why is that ?

[mahna]

Problems?

[deye243]

yep the percussion just about gives me a instant headache it is brutal i would rather shoot the 375 ct .

and no i ain't joking .

so i now have no follow through as when the sears break boooooom and i automatically close my eyes

this is a reflex action as it's like getting hit in the forehead with a bat .

so there you have it i must be a wimp.

[North East]

Get better hearing protection. I use Peltor SportTac when using the brake or without. Not a problem.

I found the same thing when shooting my 6.5 under the roof @ SSAA. It's given me the s**ts so I've removed it from my rifle as well pretty expensive paper weight!!!!

[Chronos]

Ahh crap , that no good fellas , I'll say the blast did take me surprise at first but it didn't cause any negative effects. Out in the grass you don't get the blast back from the roof. Maybe give it another go out in the open.

Yep will fit it up when shooting the Military comps, found it reduces recoil sure but the shape of the vents point up and the concussion from the roof s**ts you to tears!!!! so your right Chronos out in the paddock shouldn't be a problem. I hope

If you put the brake on the other way around...

Recoil will still come down but I guess muzzle jump goes way up?
