RE: Does a Muzzle Brake effect velocity? (Savage model 16)
I agree with big bulls completely. Get a Benchmaster or Caldwell Lead Sled. Avoid muzzle brakes for any field application. A muzzle brake will slightly increase velocity, believe it or not. Apparently, after the bullet leaves the barrel, the gasses are able to continue to push on the base of the bullet a little better going through the brake than they can without the muzzle brake.
