[QUOTE="bamadawg2009, post: 659197, member: 34807"] Nope my gunsmith thats building my new 300WSM didn't have one and said he doesnt build enough rifles in that caliber to have one, so I was seeing if I could find one cheaper than new but I went ahead and bought a new PTG reamer. The Smith that built my 280AI rented one if I had known this I would have spent the $120 and bought one then sold it to him when he was done with my rifle. I wish I had the know how and equipment to start building my own rifles, I would really be in the POOR HOUSE then. [B]FIFTYDRIVER,[/B] I had a 308 built years ago on a mauser action with a A+B barrel that was a .75" MOA rifle for the first 100-200 rounds but Im seeing the accuracy already starting to go. The barrel is a 1-10 twist and Im shooting 165BTs and 168VLDs and cant get it under 1.25 now unless I run lower end powder charges then it tightens up but velocity goes out the window. FWIW do you think I should rebarrel or do I have other options before that. [/QUOTE]
