Thread: My 9.3x62...

I bought Zeropak's 30-06 recently offered on this forum. Shortly after getting it, it went to DPT to be threaded for one of their cans, a standard 30cal, I already owned. I had an extra baffle installed and also their new muzzle brake. This is how I first shot the rifle. It was very pleasant to shoot just using some medium handloads that came with it, SSTS and SoftPoints probably in the 150gn vicinity and doing mid 2600fps. Recoil and noise was just not an issue. After zeroing the scope and getting some good 100m hunting quality groups I thought to fire a.round without the can. What a diff. My old recently repaired shoulder sat up and took notice. The muzzle blast was distinctly there rather than muted. It went from being very pleasant to shoot repeated groups to, mmm, maybe I'll park it now.

So FWIW, if you want to tame recoil a little, are happy to thread and suppress, then that DPT can with extra baffle and the muzzle break makes a decent diff. Mine is over-barrel not barrel forward. The barrel s 22in, rifle is scoped and in a synthetic stock..
