[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1978277, member: 2736"] When someone brings me a rifle with a brake on it that wont shoot, That is the first thing I check. I have gauges that fit the bore and the brake with a .020 thousandths larger shank for the brake. If it wont go in the bore and the brake I remove the brake and look for bullet strikes. They are normally caused by poor alignment on the threads to the bore but sometimes the bore has been two small. Many times, a shade tree Gunsmith will thread with a die nut and then bore the bore hole in the brake much larger to allow for the misalignment. this not only decreases the brakes performance, it also normally ruins any chance of accuracy. Pick the best design for your type of shooting/hunting, Have a good gunsmith install it using a lathe to single point the threads, and have him bore it to .020 larger than the bullet diameter and fit it to the only rifle it will ever see, and you will not only have a shooter, but you will shoot better because of the performance of the brake and the maximum reduction of the brake. Simple 👍 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
