[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 60652, member: 12"] zane .001 is the min you should go, especially with a hunting gun. Normal 1k BR guns are not set any tighter than that and they are meticulously cleaned. No need to go tighter. key is dies that are true and matched to chamber. For hunting gun, you might consider just min saami chamber and special reamer cut for no neck turning for your brass. Dave Kiff (Pacific Tool) normally sells the reamer for $135. Bersin tool is waste of money in my opinion. rotate the case after seating 180 and reseat. Suggest you look at a Broughton barrel in his 5c rifling. Will be faster and easier to clean. He is making one of the best barrels right now. Second, lot of talk right now about poor quality of the steel PacNor is currently using. Contact Jim Carsenson of JLC precision (go to 6mmbr.com and look at his info) about a custom FL sizing die with neck bushings cut to your chamber. He uses 10 pieces of fired brass, redding body bump die and about $78. Jim will also tune a redding or forester BR seater to your bullets. .1 group is lofty goal for non BR gun. .1 in a BR gun is winner every day. Occasional .1 maybe, routine, not likely. Suggest you find a good 1k BR smith if that is truely your goal. Check recommended gunsmiths at 6mmbr.com also. Good luck. BH [/QUOTE]
