[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1114163, member: 2736"] In My opinion, The free bore should not be more than .001 to .002 larger than the bullet. throat length depends on the cartridge but should be generous if hot loads are intended for it. Lead angle should be somewhere around 1''5'o to 2"0'o ( most are 1"22' to 1"30'o SAMME specifications are intended for loads of many different sizes (Factory) and safety. but .016 is way to big and I suspect the reamer was not spec. correctly, or just a bad reamer. This Link is a 338/06 A Square and would be about the right dimensions for the 338/06 in my opinion.
