What would be the minimum shoulder any of you would consider?

I'm building a 33 nosler and have a light palma barrel and where I want to cut the barrel, comes out to .780 and I want to run 11/16x24 thread muzzle brake which leaves the shoulder at about .046".

It won't be .046" when you subtract the relief cut and radius on the relief cut but it will still be enough at .780". At .750" it is pushing things as you would only end up with about .020" per side.
 
.020 to .030 is my limit and if I cant get that I will seat the brake on the muzzle inside of the brake.
