Members I have currently been doing some load development with my trg. My projectile of choice is the 210 gr. berger vld. Initial tests have shown sub .5 inch groups @ 100 to 125 yds. The same load produced 1.25 to 1.5 inch groups @ 300 yds. Now my optics have not caught up to the rifles capabilities yet, but the glass is decent. It is a luepold vx3 4.5-14 x 40 lr. During my last outing my shooting partner had mentioned that I had not shot the rifle without the brake. So the brake was removed and a 3 shot string was sent to 300 yds. When I went to inspect the target. I was suprised to see a true .5 inch group. Not that I am not capable of doing that just it was out of the norm with this load and rifle. Two of the bullet impacts were less that 1/8 of an inch from one another. There was no change in wind or heat index at the time. The barrel now has approximately 250 rds. through her. Has anyone had experience with brake non-brake accuracy changes? All these groups have been shot with the same reload. I even double checked my reloads oal to see if there was a change there. All was the same.
