[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 152239, member: 12"] [b]208 Amax\'s and tight bores do not mix[/b] Couple LR BR shooters are using the 208 Amax's and coming up with some interesting results. They have 6k of the best lots to test right now and an issue is being noted. The amax has a slight pressure ring and is slightly over .308. IT DOES NOT LIKE tight bores and this is being proven in 3-4 guns. One of the guys has a Broughton with a .3078 bore and it would not shoot them under 10". They lapped it out to .308 and cut off the end and recrowned. Shot several 5-6" groups last match with the same load. The Hart barrels are a true .308 and seem to shoot them well. Tim North of Broughton is making a special barrel with a bore of .308 exactly that will be on one of the test guns soon. Understand your bore and bullet dimensions and do not be afraid to change a bullet if it will not shoot. Many times it just might not be the barrel is BAD. BH [/QUOTE]
