[QUOTE="Heetor, post: 950506, member: 79937"] Thanks for the feedback on the reamer, I didn't realize I had options. This is my second custom rifle, the first I bought off a friend so I wasn't involved in building it. It is a 30-378 with the chamber cut without freebore, not sure which reamer was used to cut it. Since I don't know much about this I assumed there was a spec that all reamers followed and my choice was freebore or no. I like the chamber in the rifle I have in that it is very accurate, but I have been pretty tentative with the load workup due to the higher pressure. My friend warned me i could not safely chamber factory amo with it. Really I don't have much to compare it to as it is a lot more accurate than my stock rifles, but not sure if that is the custom chamber or the better rifle. I was reading about the reamers you mentioned and it looks like I have some more research to do. I like the idea of being able to seat them long, and with these heavy for caliber bullets the freebore makes sense. [/QUOTE]
