Type of crown with muzzlebrake??

[Mram10us]

Since we don't have to worry about the crown getting beat up with a brake or can, what is your favorite crown type for these applications?

11 deg is pretty common

I have always machined a flat crown on barrels that have brakes installed. It doesn't really matter as long as it's machined properly on an indicated bore.

I like a recessed flat crown, properly indicated bore, crown checked with Q tip and magnifying glass for burrs.

Is that what you use?

I recrowned a flat/recessed Savage factory crown with 11 degree. It not only shot better but carbon build-up was easier to clean.
