    The rifle starts recoiling the moment the bullet starts moving. The brake is good at reducing felt recoil by turning some of the gas around as the bullet exits the muzzle, but by then the damage to...

    Try a 160 gn ballistic tip. If that works you can then try the std 160 gn AB and know it will shoot. Their BC is good enuff.

    I'd try 162 (or 180) ELD-Xs. Accuracy issues with the ABLRs are not uncommon.

    I would obtain some rounds that are proven very accurate and try those - that will rule out any rifle barrel issue and then start again

    I’ve never had a lot of success with NLRAccubonds, very fussy which is a pity cos they do kill very well

    Does it shoot other projectiles accurately? Before going to much further I’d try a simple flat base projectile, 150 - 160 gn with a proven powder in 7WSM (2213sc or 2217). Run a ladder and record...

    162 eldm or x should be more than sufficient for all things near or far and way cheaper than LRAB's

    Damage to the crown? If so, easy to have it recut. Barrel twist rate? As others have said, try a different projectile.

    Try PPU 160 grain projectiles. Probably not the type of projectile for long range stuff but them and 2217 work well for me out to 350. So might restore your confidence.
