I am ordering one in 6.5mm BRM, my question is - should I get a brake installed? Not so much for the recoil but to keep the muzzle down and maybe that isn't a big issue, just would be a good time to do it while it is being built. The fine people there tell me it is about a 50/50 split in sales with and without brakes. Thanks, Mark

18 years ago!!, I had a 6.5 BRM built as my new born son's first rifle. Excellent round that can be loded as a plinker up to big game. The rifle - though UGLY - has been an accurate fun tool. As a handgun hunter, I have went through several stages - from bolt action handcannons to my now favorite Bowen ruger single actions. Shoot a braked single shot to see if you care for the brake. On a single shot, muzzle rise a quick follow ups are not a hunting issue. The brake will be louder but you may not care. Happy to share reloading info if you get the gun.

I placed the pistol on order, looks like a lot of fun. I sure would appreciate any load data. Mark

Thanks for your advise I'm not have them put a brake on it. I am having swivel studs installed, otherwise it will be a stock standard BF pistol.

I dont intentionally hunt with a hand gun my self but I do carry a super blackhawk in my truck when I head to the lease to corn up my feeders. It has taken a hog or 10.

Please note these are "heavy" loads for my son's rifle - your pistol's chamber may differ. All loads are in formed - once fired - winchester 30-30 brass, CCI BR LR primers - COL varies but is between 2.80 and 2,835 depending on bullet and accuracy in my rifle. With a 100gr X or partition, begin with 31gr of 4320. At 34.4 gr my rifle is accurate and gives 2700fps. This was my Son's hunting load for years - the recoil is moderate accuracy ecellent. Begin at 30gr 4320 with 120gr bullets. 33.5 gives 2575 in my rifle. I used bulk 120 gr Rem bullets over 30gr to fire form - it was one of the most accurate loads used. We never tried heary 6.5's being this was a light childs rifle used on small whitetails. EAB will supply load date if asked. zac
