[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1090212, member: 2736"] If you go with a SAMME reamer that's all you need. I highly recommend the SAMME reamer with Standard free bore and throat Just make sure that the smith knows not to substitute with another reamer. (The Manson reamers are my favorite) and to make sure I recommend that you buy the reamer yourself from Dave so you will get the right chamber. The 8 twist is a little fast for the STW in my opinion unless you are shooting 175 grain bullets or more. But it really has nothing to do with the reamer. I recommend a 1 in 9 for bullets 168 and down because the STW can produce some very high velocities and bullet jackets can suffer if rotated to fast. also if you want a Shilen get the select match only. Sounds like you are on the right track. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
