Adding a muzzle break after load development

[FreezeBomb]

I have recently gotten into reloading and developed a pretty good load for my rifle (tikka 6.5cm) and like an idiot I now want to add a muzzle break. Any huge gotchas here? Wasn’t sure if I would need to go back through the whole development process so any advice would be great.

GTG, unless there is a timing issue. I have a Badger on one rifle, and the POI is the same with or without a brake, but they're not all created equally.

Never know. As it’s a tuning issue. You might have to mess with seating depth and you might not.

Powder won’t be affected.

That’s what I was hoping to hear. Appreciate the feedback gents.

My groups got tighter with a muzzle break, same POI. Only way to check is to test it but usually it won't be signifcant unless you are adding something heavy.
