[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2535481, member: 313"] My brakes are all .020" over bullet diameter. However, my Browning HC 6.5 Creed came with a useless brake that didn't do much for recoil and could easily have fit on a 340 Wby. I sent the brake out to a guy who makes brakes and he said "I can't imagine how this brake could reduce recoil at all". Only because the barrel was threaded from the factory, I decided to have a proper brake made and contour fitted. Someone posted an analysis of exactly how much recoil reduction was lost by oversizing the exit hole. IIRC, the study showed that oversizing by one step (ex; .224 having a .243 hole, or, .270 having a .284 hole) there was barely any loss, but oversizing by several steps caused a measurable difference in recoil reduction.
