What diameter does.it taper down to? I bought one of the originals but decided to go with a new smaller tapered barrel for my build so I probably won't use the one I bought.

Sorry to make a bit of a Necro thread, but I do not see any after shoot results on this thread and it did not seem to make sense to start a new thread and spread the info out?

A few of you were going to run them on 6.5's how did that work out?  Did you all buy the 308 version?  How did it work? :bfg:

I have a 5/8-24 threaded 6.5 and am looking for a muzzle brake, heard great things about these.  How is the muzzle blast for bystanders?

They have worked very well, they were designed for shooting from the prone. To direct the muzzle blast up and away from the shooter and spotter. Anyone to either side of that zone is going to know it, as is the case with all muzzle brakes. This one is just more driver friendly than most I have used. I have even tried it on my 6.5 Badger (6.5-.338 Ultra Magnum Improved) which it wasn't desighned for and it took quite a bit of jump and recoil out of it.

Those look pretty cool. 

Similar to Lamrith's question, do you use a .308 verson for a .260? 

How standard are barrel threads?  I have a stainless -06 that I had a brake put on in the 80's but was never very impressed with it and might be interested in swapping it out.

You can use the .308 on a .260 or you can ream a .223 brake to .284

Most common barrel threads are 1/2-28, 5/8-24 and some 9/16-24. It really depends on the diameter of the barrel at the muzzle.
