I didn’t notice any difference with or without muzzle brake so I am leaving it on. I had absolutely terrible groups with the 165 accubonds I also tried the 170 silver tips and they were no better. I haven’t tried the 162 so I can’t speak for them.
I have the same gun and have had pretty much exact same results. I have messed with the stock, re mounted scopes, tried new scopes, shot with and without muzzle brake, tried 3 types of ammo and it finally now shoots good. I have found The only ammo the gun will shoot accurately is browning...
No luck swinging for the fences for antelope. Unsuccessful for the deer tag I was going for I had 2 more points then it’s been taking. My girlfriend did get lucky and got a region G with 1 point in the regular sob in excited for that.
Buying binos after you somehow lose your ls sucks. Lost a pair of vortex razor 12x50 uhd on way home from Colorado last September. Not sure how I managed that.
Buy once cry once just don’t lose them and need to buy again.
My first elk made elk hunting seem to easy. Got him opening day didn’t leave truck until around noon and killed him at 3. Was definitely a case of beginners luck he was a pretty decent 6x6.
I would look for a White. I got a .504 and .451 they are my most accurate guns I own. They shoot heavy lead very well with 80 grain’s volume of triple 7 using #11 caps.
