Minimum muzzle diameter for Badger Mini FTE?

[KPK]

Working on a hunting style rig and want a mini fte but wondering on muzzle size. Probably end up with a #4 barrel. Will also end up with a suppressor. It's going to be a 300wm. I like the brake better than contoured brakes to the barrel.

You will want your muzzle diameter between .875 and .975

The normal fte has a minimum to .800 so I'd assume the mini would have a smaller minimum??

Here's the normal fte and diameters, but says nowhere on the mini.

Everywhere I see it it says it's 20% small. So a 20% smaller barrel would be .640, but that's just me guessing.

I'm having a mini FTE installed on a Bartlein medium palma 300NM build. The shank/base of the brake will almost be flush with the barrel contour after it's installed. I would say a #4 might be a risky, but I'm no pro so it wouldn't hurt to call Ken or Dustin @ GAP. He'd know for sure. For another option - I have a BO thruster installed on a #4 and it looks great.

I took my measurements from one that is sitting on my bench right now.
