Request for 308W reamer print

[Exocet]

I'm looking at building a 308W Remington 700.

I have one currently with a 308 Obermeyer chamber but cannot seat bullets to fit the magazine if I want them anywhere close to the rifling.

What I want is a minimum chamber, no-turn neck, that will let me load 168's and 175's to fit the magazine (2.80 OAL) while still being able to be close or touching the lands. I'm not worried about losing case capacity as I don't hot rod them anyhow.

Before I go calling a reamer company, if anyone has a print such as this on hand, I'd be grateful to receive it or take any suggestions.

Thanks.

One of the Palma chambers should do what you want. Any reamer grinder will have the prints.

Also look for the "M852" reamer from clymer.

+1 M852 reamer. My barrel was chambered using Dave Manson's and I can't argue one bit. 155-175gr do well from 2.800" M852 was a chamber designed to use FGMM when the 168 was king. Turns out 175 does just fine too.
