Muzzle break info needed

[trigger103]

Having a 28 nosler built, and looking to put a break on. Barrel will be .650 at muzzle. What thread should I use 5/8 or 9/16?

Also would like some ideas for a break to purchase. What should I be looking for? Thanks for the help.

5/8 is more standard here in the US.
Look at APA little bastard or Fat bastard area 416
And those are about the top 3... hard to really beat those.

Plan on running a suppressor? Then I'd go with TBAC and whatever mount for the Dominus or Ultra

Titanium Beast 5 port from Muzzle Brakes and More. Remember, the larger the brake, the more the recoil reduction. You can have your smith taper it to the barrel.

Pain killer or terminator. I wanna try the sidewinder but haven't bought one yet.

MBM 5 port makes my 300wm kick less than my 18lb 243 win

You had better ask your smith what thread he/she recommends or will even do. I am betting that 5/8" is not available with a .650 muzzle diameter and, depending on the smith, 9/16" might not be either.

Bigger threads are almost always better.
Dont fear a manufactured shoulder like this one. Ignore the dissimilar materials/colors; this was supposed to be temporary.

Here's what I found on Muzzle Brakes and More and his numbers sound good. You need to have enough shoulder for the brake to but up against.

These are the thread sizes I recommend on barrel sizes in these ranges:

Below .540" is 7/16x28
Between .540 and .630 is 1/2x28 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .670" and up
Between .630 and .700 is 9/16x24 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .750 and up
Between .700 and .850 is 5/8x24 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .800" and up
Over .850" is 3/4x24 unless you want to turn it flush and then it's .950" and up.

I made a screw on sholder for a 6.5 pencil barrel for a 5/8-24 can. I went from 1/2-28 up to the 5/8-24 and it has worked great.

Muzzle Brakes and more 5 port
is my vote. I have 2.

Call or email Nathan and give him your barrel dia at muzzle, type barrel, whether fluted, where fluting stops from muzzle end, etc.

He can tell you exactly what you need.

I investigated brakes on this forum, and got great info.

Only 2 brakes give the most recoil reduction. MBM and Terminator tie on the weighted sled tests.

But MBM is made in the U.S.

Terminator is out of New Zealand.

All the others like Fat Bastard, Area 419 are close but not as good on the sled test.

Terminator T3 with whichever thread size suits the diameter of your muzzle best.

My son uses a Area 419 sidewinder on his edge and it works great.
