Instead of putting a Doughnut on the barrel, I suggest a Bagel. Then you only have to Lox and load.

I used one on a Winchester 70 Classic 25-06 that didn't group like I've come to expect. Even after removing the hot glue and bedding it properly, tried free floating the barrel and pressure in the fore-end, multiple bullets, weights and speeds. The de-res doughnut did help but I'd lost interest in the rifle by then and sold it to a buddy who immediately removed the de-res.

Cut two inches off the barrel and recrown, should have a similar effect.

I've used one.
But not in the way it was designed to be used.

Nope. I go for the real thing.

Tracks, Cut two inches off the barrel and recrown, should have a similar effect. Why 2"? The BOSS systems moves a couple thousandths and affects groups. If a guy had a magnum and whacked two inches he more or less turned his magnum into a normal cartridge that uses more powder and is louder.

Would love to hear y'alls thoughts
Drumm...since I know you wont take offense, here are my real thoughts. Using the barrel donut means you'll need a T-shirt or a hat that says: 1) I don't know what Im doing or 2) Im very new at this or 3) Im really hoping equipment will take the place of expertise. or 4) TYRO

If a guy had a magnum and whacked two inches he more or less turned his magnum into a normal cartridge that uses more powder and is louder. The BOSS system was developed by Browning when they found many rifles being returned because of poor acccuracy were helped by cutting a bit off the barrels. Anything that changes the harmonics will change the way it shoots. I'd rather lose a bit of velocity than have that butt ugly BOSS on the end of my rifle and a rubber doughnut is even worse. BTW- I love my 22" 338 WM, and don't feel like I'me giving up much.

I have used them for a few years. They work well on some rifles. And some they just move the group around on the target.
