    Gunsmithing 1/2x28 for .243/6mm???

    I know it's not usually recommended, but why isn't threading a muzzle 1/2x28 for a .243 or 6mm (short action cartridge at 22" bbl length) more common? I have several .308 caliber rifles threaded 9/16x24 for a suppressor and was told that it's the minimum recommended for .308. By my math...
