As mentioned, a solid bottomed brake, means there are no holes/ports on the bottom of the brake.12 inch piece of steel.
Bottom muzzle brake? With ports only on the bottom? I’ve been told you want ports ONLY on the side. When I installed one of those on my AR-10 it helped tremendously with recoil.
Factory ammo for now. I may get into reloading in the future, but not something that’s on the radar for the time being.
A side discharge brake works great.
Even if it has holes on the top, it will not be a problem, if, it is a good quality brake.
Most of my elk kills have been under 500 yards. Have I killed elk beyond 6? Yes.
Even more of my elk kills have been under 400 yards.
The last elk (Cow/calf tag) I killed was with a 6.5 PRC. It had a PRS scope on it, but I didn't want to change out an optic, when I decided to use it.
This was with Hornady factory ammo.
Same XP-100, with a Sightron S-III scope, and the same ammunition at just over a grand, with a good friend shooting it. 3-shot group is right at 3.5"
