I didn't mean to start a discussion on actual barrel bending. I misspoke earlier, in my mind I was think barrel harmonics.
Anyway, personal story time. I have a 35 Whelen on a Mauser action with a 24" barrel that came with a "pepper pot" muzzle brake. Similar to the internet picture below.

Two inch vertical shift up at 50 yards when I took the muzzle brake off.
