[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 132890, member: 4785"] What will the rifle be used for? if it is hunting where you will be using factory ammunition go with a SAAMI spec long freebore reamer. If you are looking to handload for it and use match Projectiles i would look at getting a reamer made up with a 35-40 degree shoulder like a conventional case that will not allow a facttry round to chamber and a tight match throat and chamber. Call Dave Kiff at pacific Precision also talk to Kirby if he has a 300 Allen cartrige based on the 338 Lapua case improved it would be realy worth a look the other option would be a 300 Ultra MAg improved or standard. I take it the barrel is a 1 in 8 twist barrel? if so you would be well served to use 240gr MAtchKings or Richards Wildcat projectiles in Canada. I think he will be making projectiles up to 300gr if this is what you want to use i would get the projectiles and have the reamer made to suit. Will the rifle be used as a single shot or a repeter? What action will you be using? Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
