I shoot a R700 Short Tactical 1:12 twist. If I added a muzzle break will it + or - muzzle velocity or have any effect at all on it?

Re: Muzzle Break
velocity..... probably wont effect it enough to make it a + or - .
its there to soften the recoil... not help velocity.

Re: Muzzle Break
the recoil is not that bad but the rifle jumps or bucks up really bad. Would a break help that? that is what I am trying to stop.

Yes, click this link and watch the difference.

Everyone will say theirs is the best, I just posted this to show brake vs no brake

Re: Muzzle Break
If the muzzle break is machined correctly it should not affect anything negatively. In most cases it helps the shooter not flinch, thus your groups shrink by a fraction.And yes it will help the rifle not "buck up" as much. It will be louder though.

Re: Muzzle Break
The brake will not effect your velocity but it may your accuracy if it is a non-symmetrical design.I love to shoot my .308 with brake installed but personel to my left and right of me vacate the benches.I use double hearing protection when I shoot High power rifles with brakes

I use double protection all the time now, even with pistols. My ears are still young enough that I can hear range commands when I am doubled up.

I personally do not buy this,
my 308 shot the same group size unbraked/braked/suppressed...
I did see a small POI shift, and the suppressor afforded slightly different velocities and smaller ES/SD....
my brake was not symmetric and installed by me (ie, a monkey with a lathe)
YMMV

Re: Muzzle Brake
I shoot a 300 WM currently and use a brake. Works great and doesn't effect accuracy at all. Actually it helps. Probably because it eliminates alot of the felt recoil and the rifle doesn't jump any where near as much as it does without the brake. With a 1" Decel pad and the brake on this rifle, felt recoil is near non existant.

Re: Muzzle Brake
Spelling and grammar aside. A properly installed brake will not affect accuracy.
