[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1090307, member: 2736"] [QUOTE= I can use sloppy SAAMI specs on those. Not trying to start a argument, but SAMME spec. reamers are not sloppy. They are built to a specification that forces the ammo manufactures to hold there dimensions to the standard. A SAMME chamber is designed to handle most brands of ammo within SAMME safe pressures. Chamber quality depends on the quality of the reamer and the Gun Smith that cut it. After fire forming, any chamber can be sloppy if the brass is sized to much when reloaded. so the problem comes when loaded with the wrong die setting. I recommend fire forming in any chamber and then sizing only enough to let the bolt close and no more. This will keep the brass fitting the chamber and increase brass life. Tight necks, throats, free bore and any modifications to a SAMME spec should only be made by an experienced Reloader to avoid potential problems. A SAMME chamber can be very accurate (Well under 1/4 MOA) If loaded correctly. Just trying to clear up the myth about SAMME chambers Being bad. It is up to the Reloader to get the most from a well cut chamber no matter what kind it is. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
