[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2400128, member: 68758"] I think Surgeon gave correct feedback on this. Do some research and you'll learn why .50 cal bullets are not considered optimal for ELR accuracy by many. To get the desired .5+ G7 BC, you're talking 1000-1100 grain bullets. What do you suppose the recoil feels like with something like that? Bearing surfaces are excessively long, and you need a very slow burning powder and a barrel a mile long. A .50 cal would be my last choice for ELR. You're asking about a reamer- so if you're not just going CIP or AI you should do it like every other custom. Pick the bullet. Pick your brass. Load a dummy round to the OAL desired. Send to Manson or JGS and have the reamer ground according to your desired freebore and neck clearances. Easy, huh? [/QUOTE]
