Took both my Savage rifles and my M14 to the range today.
10FP, Badger Brake, 308 - This brake is very effective. And when I say effective I mean it. The rifle had recoil around that of a 223 or less. It had virtually no muzzle flip. I did not bring my hand loads (forgot them) but shot Federal Gold Medal Match in the white box to .6 at 100 yards. I could have done better but I think the heat threw me off.
10fp, Badger Brake, 223 - This brake cut felt recoil to that of probably a 22LR. Muzzle flip was virtually nill and that made for fast follow up shots. Using Wolf Gold 75g 223 I should a .58 after sighting in. I was very pleased with the results. The Nikon scope performed flawlessly. Could not touch the IOR but was very god non the less. The 1-9 twist barrel seemed to stabilize the 75gs fine as well as the 69g. I did'nt shoot my hand loads for a group but I did not have any problem shooting the 200 and 300 plates.
M14 - Hell of a good time. The thing thumped the crap out of my shoulder but functioned and preformed flawlessly. I had a grat time banging the steel plates at 200 and 300 yards with the iron sights. I also came to the conclusion that I am getting rid of the scope and mount I have for it and installing a scout rail and CQB optic of some sort. Maybe an EOtech.
Great day in 100 degree heat
