Default Switch breakers

Hi all
Just doing some planning on my electrical system and was planning on using rocker switch/breakers on the panel. The issue i have is normally all the breakers are hooked together with a piece of copper bar and screw terminals to supply them all with power then the power is distributed as required( is this correct??)How would be the best way to do this with the .250 fast on terminals????

Default You Can't Easily

You need screw on terminals. The copper bus bar is then drilled on the switch centers and screwed to the switch terminals. It distributes the power and also helps to stabilize them structurally.
