[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1645812, member: 13110"] With self timed brakes or brakes that need to be tightened hard against a crush washer you need as much barrel wall thickness as you can get to try and avoid distorting the bore when the brake is tightened. In your case I would do a 9/16x24. The 6.5mm wouldn't be as much of a concern but I would try to be easy tightening the brake on a 7mm and .30. I only use 1/2x28 threads when I have no other choice on larger calibers, not as a first option. [/QUOTE]
