Hey Guys,
I've chambered 2 barrels in .223 for F/TR and I just couldn't get them to shoot as well or as consistent as I can a .308, so I'm 'repurposing' the action.
I'm looking for recommendations on a reamer that would work decently well for 52-80gr bullets; was planning to build a 28" 8-twist. The gun will be shot primarily for fun/practice, and maybe a 300 yard MR match if the winds are calm...but 'fun' and 'no drama' are top priorities.
You figure I can get away with a SAAMI reamer, or would I want something like a Wylde? I'm admittedly hesitant on the wylde, just because the neck would probably be a mile wide for what I'm doing...but if that's the only thing with the freebore I need then it may be the only option.
Any other 'off the shelf' reamers that might be a good fit?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
