Building a Grinch for the Grand Girls

[Mulligan]

Some of the Grandgirls have decided they want to shoot with Grandpa, now that their mother has started shooting with me.
I am not going to build another bench gun until we see how long this is "cool".

My plan is to chamber up a 1-8 barrel for a Grinch and let them use my short-range BR rifle at 600 until we figure out if they want to stick with it a bit.

Looking at info on this forum, it looks like a .135 FB will works with 103-108 class bullets.
Does anyone have a reamer print they care to share?

@Dstroud and @BartsBullets any advice?

Thanks

I like a .120 FB. I’ll see if I can’t find you a print.

You are welcome to use my reamer - it was made by JGS back in 2017 and designed by Dean Stroud. .264 neck and .135 freebore. Chambered up one shortrange 1-12 twist Krieger and have never put a bullet down it unfortunately. Got caught up with long range stuff shortly there after and have been running 6 BRAs. Has a headspace gauge too.

Let me know if you want to use it.

That is super generous of you. Thank you for the offer.
I spoke to my gunsmith last evening and he also wants to chamber a Grinch and said he wants to have the reamer on hand. So now, we are going at this together, which is also cool.
We will be ordering the reamer soon.
Thanks again.
