[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 230842, member: 10"] Bore diameter on muzzle brakes depends on several factors. In general, with a radial port muzzle brake like the one on your rifle, you will hear 30-40 thou over bullet diameter. For a parition style brake you can go tighter, its recommended to still stay 20 thou over bullet diameter. It all has to do with the material of the brake and the pressure level in the brake. A radial port brake holds pressure higher then and longer then a radial port brake simply because it can not dump the escaping muzzle gas as quickly as a partition style muzzle brake. Because of this, its not a good idea to choke the bore diameter to tightly. If I may offer a recommendation, if you really want to reduce felt recoil, you should switch to a partition style muzzle brake as they will far out perform any radial port brake at reducing felt recoil.
