Thread: Gong shooting : can vs brake

Went to a NZDA gong shoot today. Previously I had always used a DPT can on my7-08. With the new Shillen barrel, I opted to leave it bare, but today I noticed it was quite a bit harder to keep track of where the shot impact was. Seemed to have a bit more hop off the bipod. For the longer shots I managed to get the rifle back on the target before impact, and could see where the shot was falling. Shot with another rifle in 260 and same thing.

So my question is this : which would you recommend to reducing recoil to the point where you have a higher chance of seeing the impact on or near a target ? Can or brake ? With the brake does the blast cause any other issues ?
