Thread: Gong shooting : can vs brake

I know the 22 and 6mm PPC are kings of accuracy because of design but the 308 could almost match them if it wasnt for that dam kick.
WAVER ( everyone handles recoil differently and im not judging ) its just that smaller recoiling guns are easier to shoot. A 7mm08 with a DPT should be fine for shooting steel though, maybe look at gun fit ( too big of a scope too high or similar )
Ask to shoot someones braked gun before you commit. They might reduce recoil more but are not as user friendly as many make out.
I have one MAE, five DPT managed guns and two braked guns of which i have just suppressed one of them also because i got sick of the blast nonsense and it was only a 338 win mag and the DPT is fine for it.
Im just home from shooting two redskins at 500yds with the 338 FX (338Lapua IMP) shooting the 300gr Berger @ close to 3,000 fps and from a field rest, Bi-pod/daypack i only spotted one of the drop on spot kills anyway and had to put up with a dust storm at the shots. I film all shots with it because every spotter so far has missed the impacts because of the blast. This is my only gun that a brakes recoil advantage out ways the weight/length/muzzle jump disadvantages of a suppressor.
I hope my ramble helps but if not, its just my opinion
