NEED SOME INFO. MY BARREL MAKER WANTS ME TO SEND HIM A COUPLE OF LOADED DUMMY ROUNDS WITH THE BULLET I WANT TO USE IN A .284 WINCHESTER SO HE CAN REAM THE THROAT TO SET THE BULLET AT THE LANDS. MY PROBLEM IS I WOULD LIKE TO SHOOT BOTH THE 180gr. BERGER HYBRID TARGETS AND THE 184gr. BERGER HYBRIDS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT BASE TO OGIVE LENGTH DUMMY ROUND I SHOULD SEND HIM IN ORDER TO GET THE THROAT TO AN OPTIMUM DEPTH. THE REAMER BEING USED IS A .188 THROAT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A .220 THROAT IS OPTIMUM FOR THE 184gr. HYBRID TARGET. I WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY GET THE FREEBORE AT .210 WHICH I THINK WOULD ALLOW BOTH BULLETS TO BE USED. THIS WILL BE A NEW F CLASS RIFLE. CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE BASE TO OGIVE LENGTH WITH THE 180 gr. BERGER HYBRID THAT WILL GET ME IN THE BALLPARK FOR A .210 FREEBORE. OR WHAT THE MINIMUM BASE TO OGIVE LENGTH WOULD BE TO PUT THE 184 gr. HYBRID RIGHT AT THE LANDS. THANKS
