[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 602114, member: 3733"] We would always prefer the largest thread tenon possible. But in reality the guy who brings in his light weight 338 with a .595 muzzle is going to get a 1/2x28 tpi, or get it magna ported, which is a poor recoil reducer compared to most screw on brakes. I have put on some 1/2x28 thread brakes on a couple 338s and the customers have had no issues to date. Any body with a carbon wrapped barrel likely has 1/2x28 threads under the barrel end cap, this is a standard with many of the wrapped barrels. It allows a 5/8x24 thread to be installed on the cap for a brake thus creating two thread joints on the muzzle. If your barrel dia. allows it Try and choose the largest thread available for the brake you want, but I wouldn't lose any sleep on a 1/2x28 on a 7mm. [/QUOTE]
