[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 942563, member: 1290"] On a regular Remington or Winchester sporter barrel the largest thread you can get on there and still have any shoulder is 1/2-28. On a .308 cal this leaves the barrel pretty thin. I haven't noticed the bushing or lead slug fitting loose enough to lose accuracy. I have frequently found that even with much thicker barrels, if the brake is put on too tight it will measurably constrict the barrel. Again accuracy rarely suffers from this effect. Cutting a crown .600" deep before where a brakes baffles begin would make for a very weird installation. I like the end of the muzzle to end exactly where the port starts and taper back at 11 degrees to the crown. [/QUOTE]
