Which 22LR match reamer to choose

Dear fellow shooters this question has been asked a million times or more but I'm after a reamer for new project & would be open to any input given, The reamers i have choosen are.

1:LR match, 2:Eley EPS, 3:LR anschutz, 4:PTG match, 5:Lilja

All reamers are from PTG,

Action is walther super match & barrel will be a krieger & SK & Lapua are the ammo types i use.

Which reamer should i use?
 
I've used the anschutz, eley eps and lilja. The lilja was WAY too tight - difficult to extract brass, impossible to extract a loaded round. I would expect the PTG match to be even worse. the eley eps and anschutz chambers are pretty close, but I prefer the eps because of the more traditional 1.5* leade. That said, who would put an anschutz-chambered barrel on a walther? lol

JW why a krieger barrel? it seems lilja, shilen, and broughton are so much more popular...

I live in australia so choice is limited to whats around at the time i've tried two brands of australian barrels both MAB & maddco, dealer near by has kreiger barrels so i'l try them. Thanks for the advice.

Hello, i'm new in this forum.I'm living,and shooting, in France. We can find there a lot of brands, mostly européans (germans : rws,sk,gecco) , finnish (lapua), italian (fiocchi), english (eley) and americans.
I use a cz 452 varmint at 50 and 100 meters.
The most accurate ammo is SK Riflematch (50 m - 10 in a big hole) and H+L at 100 meters ,44mm for 7 rounds).
I like too the american eagle of federal.More fast but two times less expensive (sk : 4.7 euros/50 rounds) .
A pretty accurate ammo for short range varmint hunting is Federal gameshok, very good at 50 meters (all in one hole) , and in a box of cigarettes at 100 meters.
here are my favourites. An excellent brand too, remains LAPUA, but i didn't find them easily. Eley is good too!

amitiés! ;D
 
I think id do the lilja, you can always open it up since you seem to have the other reamers. My big question is what is the purpose for the rifle?
Hopefully you have the reamer specs?
 
none of those reamers..i just had 2 barrels chambered using a Winchester 52d match chamber reamer..tight chamber & shoots great
