Rifle in question is a Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) in .308WIN.
I took the factory muzzle brake off as brakes/compensators can detrimentally affect other competitors on the line. Plus, I had to double-up on hearing protection with both foamies and muffs. Unfortunately, removing the brake has hurt accuracy so it's looking like it might need to be reinstalled.
The rifle will always be used for single-load slow fire so neither muzzle recovery nor felt recoil are issues. Only issues are barrel harmonics and group size.
Anyone else have experience along these lines? Could a heavy flash hider be used instead with the same positive effect? Are flash suppressors in general a risk to accuracy?
