Congratulations on the experience!  8)  Very Good Shooting and Video!  :)

I have an Enterprise Arms Muzzle Brake on L1A1 FN FAL and I've noted that it definitely changed the dynamic of the Rifle.
I also have an Enterprise Arms Muzzle Brake on my AR15A2 HBAR and I believe it helped out on that Rifle, too!

I was honestly surprised by how much difference it made in my rifle. After so many years of shooting it, I am very well acquainted with its recoil characteristics. After the brake was installed, the rifle was much more stable, and it was noticably softer on my shoulder. I wish I'd had it installed when I went through Sniper training. I woulnt have had such a big bruise on my shoulder/collar bone after two weeks of solid shooting!

Very nice!  What scope were you using?  Was your spotter giving you click adjustments for windage?  It sounded like you had to battle some breeze!

Thanks guys! My scope is an older Leupold 4.5-14X40 Long-Range/Tactical model. It has a USMC Mil-dot reticle. My spotter was giving me a wind call in mils and I was using the reticle to "hold off." Interestingly, for those 1200 yard shots, I ran out of elevation in my scope. So for those shots, I was using the reticle to hold just over three mils high, and 1.5 mils right. The target was in a "free hold", meaning it was nowhere near the intersection of the crosshairs. Rather, it was all by itself in the lower left quadrant of the scope's field of view.

Love it
Nice to see the M1aAA doing its thing
Would have like to have seen more from it though
When I finally get a chance to retire, I hope to take one of the courses here in Utah
There's one up in Summit County, Sub MOA, that's said to be the best in our area

I hope you get to attend. I'd wanted to do something like this for years, and I finally got the chance. It felt kind of like the "Master's Test" for all the rifle marksmanship training I've undergone over the years.
