[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 453856, member: 29241"] Do not think it will matter-One major well known gunsmith drills his brakes with 1/2" drill and stops just short of last set of holes then opens up last section 50 thous. bigger than bullet diameter. Seems to reduce recoil fine. I have installed several for myself where muzzle on threaded tenon is seated in brake, leaving entire lenth of holes bigger than bullet diam. by either .030 or .040. this makes it difficult to keep junction of barrel and brake from showing. with other method, muzzle does not seat in brake, giving gas room to expand quickly. I have shot both types and cant discern any difference [/QUOTE]
