Muzzle brake question.

[bear cat]

So I am re barreling a rifle that is currently .284 and the bore on the brake is .308, I am putting a new .264 barrel on. My question is, should I get a different brake for the new barrel? Will the bore on the current brake I have be too big to put on a .264 barrel?

It will be less effective.

It will work, You won't find that much different.

The reduction in effectiveness will be very small, we're talking single digit percentage here.
