[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 541351, member: 24624"] For the 2x brakes that I've installed, I dialed in the first few inches of the bore to +/- .0001" with a Grizzly Rod and reamed .020" over bullet diameter. They seemed to work fine. But, I'm wondering if I can do better. I see other posts indicating that less than .020" doesn't make much difference and more than .040" reduces effectiveness. I've also seen where some have tried progressively decreasing from .040", .030", and .020" in an attempt to help distribute the gases from first thru 3rd baffle. If you've tried this, is it worth the effort? Also, do you ream or do you simply bore yours? thanks! Richard [/QUOTE]
