Best freebore diameter .2435 or .2438

Myself, for short & light bullets is the the only time I might consider a .2435" free-bore.

Good Luck
 
Which freebore diameter is best for a BRA or a Dasher?
I believe it has more to do with bullet diameter then cartridge, Alex Wheelers #1 BRA reamer comes with a .244” FB diameter which doesn’t seem to be causing any trouble. I looked into fb diameters a while ago and from what I could find a fair few Smith’s go the .2438”.
I’m running two BRA barrels with .244” and so far great results.
 
@Rushty
Been favoring .2438's
Never had a .244" yet, but have considered it. If I ever got on fat bullets, I likely would try it.
Been on skinny bullets for quit a few years (.2432"-ish being about the fattest).
 
.0005 larger than the largest diameter of the bullet is ideal, I would say larger than the pressure ring but I have found some factory bullets that didn't have a larger diameter than the shank..... jim
