[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1977958, member: 2736"] For a muzzle brake to perform at it's best, the bore diameter of the brake should be no more than .020 thousandths larger than the bullet diameter. You can shoot a smaller bullet than specified in a rifle (Like a .277 in a ,284 bore but why would you ?). The main reason that It is not recommended is if someone makes the mistake and places it on a bore that is bigger than the bore of the brake, bad things happen. This sounds improbable, but it has been done when a brake has been used on multiple rifles with the same thread pitch. Muzzle brakes should be a dedicated accessory for the rifle to avoid any problems. It is best to just use a barrel thread protector until you can afford a muzzle brake for the rifle.
