[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 1247653, member: 2215"] You'll get better performance from a muzzle brake that is bored out for your caliber. I bore my brakes .020" over caliber diameter. On the flip side, if your barrel is large enough diameter for a 5/8-24 thread that leaves more material on your muzzle than a 1/2-28 would and induces less chance of stresses in your muzzle. The larger clearance hole will make the brake less efficient as more gas is exited straight out rather than being re-directed by the ports. You can go either way with this one, or look at some other muzzle brakes that are 5/8-24 and will need to be bored out to your caliber. [/QUOTE]
