Wayne had Kevin Robertson email me about my hunt in Zim using my 600OK on buff... Said he was doing an article about the 600OK...this must be it... Will try to grab a copy... Kevin expressed his dislike of brakes and we discussed how my using one affected my hunt... I used ESPs and my PH simply plugged his ears...I assured him it didn't negatively affect me or my hunting party... I assured Kevin that it was very possible to hunt with an unbraked 600 OK and that several AR members had done so. To see how it affected my shooting Kevin had me film and send him copies of me timing myself on the zim ph shooting test with and wo the brake...his concern was recovery time between shots... My POI changes significatly at 100 yards wo the brake but for the close ranges of this test it didn't make much of a difference... I was nominally faster with the brake but concidentally more accurate wo it... To each his own I guess as far as brakes go 600 is pretty loud even wo one...actually building my next one wo one...was cool to get to correpond with Kevin Robertson though... 600 OK is a serious step up from 505 Gibbs and I think Kevin is just a Gibbs fan... Sorry for the highjack...Beautiful rifle Biebs! ______________________ Sometimes there is no spring... Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm... | |||

thanks for the discussion on muzzle brakes. Rob seems to think that they can be built to without increasing noise, and maybe they can, but most of my reading suggests otherwise. Perhaps he can help us out with more details about building a quieter brake. Maybe it matters where one is standing and perhaps some brakes allow for the shooter to be in a non-increase sound zone? Myself, I will probably go without one since I will operate way down at the 505 Gibbs level (500AccR, 6500 ftlb) and haven't seen any need with 'normal' pressure 416Rigby loads (6200 ft lbs). +-+-+-+-+-+-+ "A well-rounded hunting battery might include: 500 AccRel Nyati, 416 Rigby or 416 Ruger, 375Ruger or 338WM, 308 or 270, 243, 223" -- Conserving creation, hunting the harvest. | |||

416... RGB has forgot more about big bores and gunsmithing than I know... I was just commenting on my correpondence with KR and his take on the whole MB Debate... I'm sure the direction of the ports, shape, and how they are cut make a difference in noise and effectiveness of the brake and RGB would know... The main reason I hunted with mine is that I really hadn't practiced wo it and right b4 my hunt I noticed a severe POI shift wo the brake... I wasn't about to chane anything right b4 my hunt and informed my ph well in advance I'd be using a brake and had zero issues whatsoever... With that being said I'm trying to Go sans mb on my next big bore and just build a heavier rifle... ______________________ Sometimes there is no spring...

So what does somebody have to do to get an autographed .600 OK dummy round from the now famous Dr. Rob? ____________________________________________ "If a man can't trust himself to carry a loaded rifle out of camp without risk of shooting somebody, then he has no business ever handling a rifle at all and should take up golf or tennis instead."
