[QUOTE="Celt, post: 26755, member: 176"] It also depend on the hardness and material the brake is made from. The Answer brakes I install are made from either 416R SS or 4150. Both are heat treated to 28-30R. For a 30cal brake, the best recoil reduction and accuracy come from an .323" diameter hole through the brake. A maximum of .328". Never had one that closed up when the heat treat was right. Did see one that the heat treat was bad on and the brake visibly streched though. FWIW Celt [/QUOTE]
