Over timed muzzle device... What next?

Ok time to order up some peel washers I think.
I know! I have seen it but the whole reason I went with the muzzle device I did was for a blast shield so I dont piss off my hunting buddies and range pals lol
Know an sponsors who sell packs ?
Depends on the muzzle device... If it only directs gasses sideways/back (Equally on both sides), none really. If it directs gasses upwards, it would cause a likely un-noticeable lateral movement opposite the direction the ports are pointing.
10 degrees is not much...
Got out the laser line... Its about 5 degree or less... its just not PERFECTLY centered with the top circular ports of my device...
For reference- The Accu-Washer system uses a series of 18 solid washers, with varying thickness (about .002" increments), so that each washer allows the brake to be tightened to a different orientation.
The spacing between them works out to 20 degrees of rotation...
A quick fix would be to remove the brake and set it on a bench or on top of a vice. Take a hammer and a center punch and mark the end that will screw up against the barrel. If you put 3 or 4 punch marks on it, you should be able to re-install the brake with out any problems.
While it pains me to spend that much for a glorified pack of washers the PA accu-washer sets are worth it.
What do you mean by "over-timed"?
I tested my AR and found I had to set the top of the brake to about 1;30 to keep the sight picture. (Right handed)
If your brake is at 11:00, that is not good.

Ok. If you want the brake to keep the sights on target, brake should be at around 20 degrees.
Is it a semi-auto?
If so, it is easy to find the correct setting for the way you hold and shoulder your rifle.
Put an aiming mark on a large shoot of paper. (newspaper will work) Fire two shots at the aiming mark as fast as you can pull the trigger.
The second shot will show where the muzzle goes, on recoil.
Fire a few at 12:00 and mark shot #2 with a 12.
Then set it to 1:00 and repeat. Mark the #2s with a 1:00
Then set it to 2:00 and repeat. Mark the #2s with a 2:00
From this you may decide to test 12;30 or 1:30.
When you are done, use the setting that gets the shot#2 closest to the aiming mark. For me it is around 1;30.
Have you looked at the muzzle of Russian guns? The muzzle brake has a detent for either 11 or 1.
