[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2535351, member: 27307"] This suggested increase of 0.020" over bullet diameter is exactly what has been suggested for the last 30 years that I'm aware of. But... Be aware that trying to make this dimension tighter (less than 0.020") does not necessarily make the brake more efficient. But the incident of baffle strikes increases the smaller you make the exit hole. The 20 thousandths oversize hole seems to be a good enough compromise to work for many cartridges. If you think you want to try adding a brake as a DIY project, be sure to pay close attention to concentricity and bore alignment. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
