Chamber q? 223 vs. Wylde in bolt gun

[btrapr]

I have not been able to find a reamer print for the Wylde chamber...I was wondering other then the throat length being longer in a WYLDE chamber. I know that the Wylde was designed as a compromise chamber to allow the use of commercial .223 and military ammo without the added risk of raised pressures...

#1- Is the body area of a WYLDE chamber pretty close to a standard .223 or does it too have extra clearance?

#2- I want to build up a Rem 700 in .223 for my wife to shoot, will a WYLDE chamber shoot 55-60's good?

#3- If I use a Wylde chamber in a 700, considering it will have a good barrel,1-10" XX OLDER R. Douglas barrel), trued +.010 receiver, and trued bolt, bedded action & handloads).

#4- If I used A Wylde reamer she could shoot ball ammo or handloaded .223. Would I be better served just to get a standard .223 reamer?

Thanks

I am not sure about this but chambers for autos are slightly different to allow easy extraction and feeding. A bolt gun does not have those restrictions. I would suggest talking with your gunsmith. My rem 700 223 was built by Fred Harold and shoots everything very well. It is a 1x8 rock barrel. Maybe give him a call if you don't have a local gunsmith. I don't see a reason to purchase a reamer for such a common caliber that most smiths probably have.

I think that .223 reamers look like:
A) custom .250" neck..tight
B) SAMMI ... loose
C) Wylde ... looser
D) NATO .... loosest

I think you want the custom reamer for the .223 bolt gun.

btrpr, I would give Dave Kiff at PTG a call. He will answer all your questions and knows his stuff. I got a 6br reamer last year for a mid range match rifle. and it shoots really well.lots-o-luck,treeman
