Gentlemen,

I'm in the process of having a 375 Chey Tac built, it will be a BAT L action and 1.45" diameter Lilja barrel. To keep the weight up I had not intended to have the barrel tapered but I have not been successful in locating a muzzle brake that's 1.45" in diameter. The American Precision Arms XXX Bastard brake is 1.5" in diameter but it tapers down to ??. It would likely be ideal if it can be squared off on the back side to match the barrel. Has anyone used this break on a CT or are there recommendations (other than tapering the barrel) for a brake this big? The gunsmith could always cut a piece off the barrel and do a "Vias style brake" but I would prefer something more aggressive lke the APA brake. All the components except the barrel are sitting at the gunsmith so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just a quick search yielded a .408 brake from ops inc (not sure if I can post the link, but just google ops inc muzzle brake) that is 1.5" in diameter. Perhaps they could build you one with just a smaller bore to maximize the efficiency. You mentioned suppressor in the subject, but not the post, so I'm not sure if you're looking for that either, but ops inc also has a .408 suppressor. Again this is just a quick Google search because I'm on lunch and a little bored, so I can't comment on the business itself, but it's an option.
 
Sorry about the title, I meant brake. APA is open M-Th so I will give them a call on Monday. I wanted to use a Bostrom tuner/brake but they won't do bigger than 1.25". Thanks for the replies so far.
 
I have a Fat Bastard for my 375 H&H, I'm willing to bet Jered will hook you up w/what you need, he's a great guy to work with. Needless to say, the brake is highly effective. Also, since you mentioned a suppressor, if you want/need one, Byron with DeltaP Designs can help a feller out. His Brevis in 9.5mm or 375 cal is an awesome tool!
