[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1202402, member: 2736"] Ballisticly speaking, the end of the barrel should be one caliber from the first baffle to perform at it's best. Some brakes don't have any baffles so it is best to have the muzzle close to flush with the end of the barrel. if there is one or two threads exposed in the brake it is less than ideal, but it should not cause any problem with accuracy because the bullet is long gone before gas of any amount hits any part of the brake. the biggest issue that effects accuracy is misalignment of the bore of the brake to the bore of the rifle. Crush washers can be a problem if they "crush" more on one side than the other cocking the brake what ever the threads will allow. So If the brake is straight, the amount of exposed threads you have should not effect accuracy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
