[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2060401, member: 101859"] Too loose is better than too tight. When designing a reamer you will cause more accuracy problems by getting a little too tight in freebore diameters and neck diameters. Even in the reamers I design for Benchrest I run a little more clearance than is standard. There is no accuracy to be found in tight neck clearance. Tight freebores will also hurt accuracy. If you want to experiment and learn, order up a bunch of stuff and try it, otherwise do not just tighten things up more than standard practice end expect accuracy to improve. Lead angles can be optimized to a specific bullet, it takes a lot of work to figure that out. But its only to that bullet. It may help or hurt the next bullet. 1.5 degree is a very good angle that seems to work well with a variety and it does not have the "weirdness" of some of the other angles. [/QUOTE]
