Out west, but not too far west
How much effectiveness is lost when I use a 6.5 diameter brake with a 6mm rifle?

I have a couple 6.5 three-chamber brakes, and a 243AI that I want to brake. I can spend the $$ on a 6mm brake, but wonder if the 6.5 brake will be nearly as effective?

Good? Bad (and if so why)?
 
Many run 30 cals on everything including 6mm. The difference isn't noticeable, maybe a couple percent
 
Here’s a screenshot from area 419.
