I notice that the #1262 print you just posted has a .237 pilot size and a .237 bore. My #1262 print is for a .236 bore and has a pilot size of .2356. What is the bore diameter of the barrel you intend to chamber?

It's a .237 bore, but I've got a set of pilot bushings .235-2378

Other than the name, freebore and leade angle. What is the difference with #1262 vs #1125? Just asking for a friend.....

After comparing my copies of #1125 and #1262, the freebore and lead angle are the only differences I see.

the 3* included angle was tried successfully with 65-70 gr boutique bullets in short range,,,(some military stuff had it too) but most shooters discovered that as the bbl. wears this lead in ramp area mimics a 1-30 lead no matter how it starts,,,I would shoot it and enjoy the bbl.....Roger

The only demerit I'd give this reamer is the tapered neck: nit-picking maybe. Per Roger, I'd not be put off by the throat angle. RG

I have had 2 barrels chambered with the 1262 reamer and I think it is a great design. I only shoot 105 and 108 gr bullets and the freebore works well for these. The tapered neck has never been an issue but I would change it to a straight .272 neck if I ordered one.

That's what I did to my first reamer. You only get to make 2 or 3 changes to the original print before they put your name on it. Be ready to chamber a 6mmSethrows. Happened to me WTH??
