Title: Witt Machine muzzle brake
Post by: elkaholic123 on August 16, 2014, 04:11:04 PM: I purchased a Witt Machine brake for my new 26 Nosler, world of difference in recoil and barrel rise :tup: I love it.. I would highly recommend to anyone on a budget, no gun smith required is also a plus. Rifle shot extremely well also.

I have had a hard time getting bullets that I want (129 ABLR) but I found some 140 accubonds and they shoot great.... Under .5 at almost 3300fps

Does it loosen up over time or require frequent tightening of the screws. Any changes in accuracy since the OP better or worse?

and is really worth the money. I will be putting one on my 338-06 soon. :tup: :tup:

How much louder does your 300 win mag sound?

I am contemplating getting one for my 300 win mag. I would be very interested in your results and if you would recommend it once you test it out.
