That is one round where huge savings are possible for those that reload. Lucked onto a Classic Model 14 in 325 last year for a very reasonable price. After saying I'll take it on a forum, started pricing ammo. Was very glad I've reloaded for nearly fifty years. Brass alone was $30 per fifty. Costs about 50 cents per round dependant on bullet used.
I've had Harris bipods do the same. Used to take the fiberboard from box Marlboro's when I smoked and place between stock/bipod on whichever side to level.
Frankly wonder why individuals buy magnum calibers only to install muzzle breaks. Defeats the purpose of a magnum. You won't like shooting it from the bench with muzzle brake because of back blast. Some individuals even use ear plugs while hunting although I wonder how they hear anything (game noise). Little concerned how he would machine a muzzle brake into the barrel. Any type of machining operation going from outside into the bore will leave burrs on inside of barrel. Will really help the accuracy with those burrs. Now if he's going to have it Mag-Na-Ported then no problem. EDM (electrical discharge machining) will leave no burrs on inside of a barrel. That's what is used when a barrel is Mag-Na-Ported.
