[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 2535849, member: 95235"] This is total amateur physicist speculation, but I can't see a hole in my thinking. The gas is going to follow the path of least resistance. If the bore through the brake is oversized enough, more and more gas will go forward and less will go out through the ports. Eventually this will mitigate the recoil reduction. Extreme examples often help me visualize these things. What if the bore diameter through the brake was one inch. You can imagine that most of the gas would go straight forward and recoil reduction would be next to nothing. Somewhere between 20 thousandths oversized and 692 thousands there is and arc where the recoil reduction goes from Maximum to near-zero. [/QUOTE]
