Hawkins made one for me a couple months ago. I wanted to thread a .650 muzzle to .625 for a .338 bore. After I had turned the tenon the barrel shoulder measured .660. I kept having issues with the brake shouldering off the barrel as I was cutting it to shoulder off the muzzle.
So I grabbed one of our Ti Pro brakes and tried it. It shouldered hard against the muzzle and has since stayed in place. So it appears we only need about .040" (.020" each side) of shoulder to hold a brake.
So I still have the brake that shoulders off the muzzle.
