I have a question for you gunsmiths. I have a 308 chambered in a Panda action and Bartlein barrel. Smith used a FTR reamer with 170 freebore. My measurement to the lands with a hornady length gauge should be around 2.2945. My initial resistance with the gauge is at 2.1500 and with some force I can push the bullet through that first resistance to the 2.2945. The gun shoots good but I think that if this was cleaned up it would shoot even better. I’m getting scratch marks on the bullet after forcing into the lands at 2.2945. Should I be worried about this or is there something my smith can do to clean this up. Thanks
Mike
