I can't immagin that a properly fitted break would have enough clearance. I use my 30 cal break on my 28 and 26 cal....but would NEVER attempt to go up!!!wanting to get a 375 but the brake i want is only listed as 338 with 5/8x18 threads would it still work or would there not be clearance for the bullets
IIRC, muzzle brake ID must be ~.020 over bore of the desired caliber.
Good luck!

i dont need a exfective muzzle brake for just a lil 375 h&h.
Never change brakes from one rifle to another. Unless they are the same caliber and even then it's not a good idea.
First for safety. It would be too easy to screw up. Wrong caliber or some other such problem. If you have a 30 cal brake the exit hole should be around .320 to .340, if you use that unit on a rifle that is a 7mm (.284) it would be at least .020 over what it should be. This would cause the brake to be less effective than it should be. If you put it on your 338 it would cause severe damage to you and your rifle.I am thinking that this statement could use some explaning.
