Caliber Specific Muzzle Break

[Goes-Bang]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I wasn't able to find an answer through searching.

I know a lot of people are running 30 cal, or even 338 cal suppressors regardless of if the caliber being shot is a lot smaller (to simplify things). Similarly I'm looking at buying into the Area 419 Hellfire mounting system, for a TBAC Ultra 9 / 30 cal, that's going to be "mostly" run on a 6mm CM.

My question is this. For when the suppressor isn't mounted up and the brake is swapped in, are most people also running caliber specific muzzle brake, or do most oversize the muzzle break caliber as well?

Thanks!

I thought I read an article or maybe it was a forum where people shot say a 6mm using a 30 cal brake and it seems that the results were pretty similar as the gases were still directed properly. I would run a caliber specific brake just so I know I get a system tuned for that caliber. No comment on the suppressor side of things though.

Brake doesn't need to be caliber specific. My 6 and 6.5 Creed use .30 brakes and one of my 6.5s has a .338 brake can adapter on it and works great. You won't feel a difference.

6.5 CM, 308, 6.5 Grendel, 7mm Rem Mag, I’ve always just used 30 cal muzzle brakes for them and have always had good recoil reduction.

No need to be caliber specific on brakes. Only a small difference in tests of a couple %

Thanks everyone for the responses.
