[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2440218, member: 10291"] The standard Norma spec is .188”. This free bore will handle the bullets you mention and the Berger 156 EOL’s as well. It’s a good idea to make sure your Gunsmith stick to this spec. Lots of opinions on this but I’ve have seen some Gunsmiths shorten free-bores as much as .050” to accommodate chasing the lands for throat wear. For a hunting rifle, I don’t recommend it…..This Norma Match Spec(below) was supplied to me by Criterion when I purchased their Pre-fit ……Perfect! You should be OK for those velocities using H1000. In addition to R26(highest velocity 140-156)), I use Retumbo(most often for 2975-3025FPS(140-143),) and, H4831sc(lower velocity). I like the Redding “S” FL Dyes/Competition seater. Lapua or Norma brass. [ATTACH type="full" alt="0E3B9A66-386F-4B46-8E79-4D8FAED13D3E.jpeg"]340440[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
