223 Palma Rife firing pin hole question

[Michael C]

I am thinking about building a 223 Palma rifle on a Rem700 action that I currently have in an Eliseo tube stock. I have seen a couple of guys shoot them successfully now with both Bergers and Sierra 90's. I like the idea of less recoil and less powder use over my 308. The rifle I would use is currently a 260 Rem and so I need to buy another bolt. I am looking at the PT&G bolts for 223 and don't know if I should get the standard 223 (.075) or the BR (.062) firing pin hole. Can anyone advise?

.0625". Works for Lapua .308 Palma brass, will work for your application. Helps contain the higher pressure from hot 90 gr. loads trying to make competitive velocity.

Get the "BR" pin.. don't look back, i like it for all applications.
