260 'Match' Reamer, who can give me the low down?

[65BR]

Understand the leade is shorter.

Any downside w/a no turn 'Match' spec reamer? Can it take factory ammo w/no bobbles?

Thanks.

I just went through the same issue when building my .260Rem. There are two common match reamers, one has .1 free bore and the other has a .06 free bore. I went with the .06 free bore as it will allow me to shoot the 140gr bullets while keeping mag length.

If you aren't reloading your own ammo, you probably shouldn't use the match reamer. There is not any company know of that loads match quality rounds at this time.

Note, Mickey Coleman did my chamber and had the rifle back to me in only a couple of weeks. He has the reamer with the .06 free bore.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.

Thanks for the info, had a link to an article on 260 ammo...

I do handload, but want to keep my options open and not 'limit' the gun to handloads only.

Appreciate the info sir.
