I thought I saw a post regarding chamber dimensions and the various bullet weights, but I cannot find it. So...
I'm looking at a pre-threaded barrel for one of my rifles. The shop says the dimensions of their reamer are:
freebore of .243 X .100 with a .271 neck.
Most of what I've been able to find says you want .113 freebore to shoot the heavier bullets and load them out of the donut area. I want to shoot the 105-107 gr. bullets, will this reamer be suitable? How far into the case will I be seating a 105 a-max, say boattail vs neck/shoulder junction? I assume I'll be re-reaming the necks to get rid of the donuts when loading. Thanks for any help.
