[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1219570, member: 2736"] SAMME chambers are designed to handle all types of bullets If loaded to SAMME mag lengths. Changes in these dimensions can bring problems with them, Like the short Freebore. Normally this is done because someone wants to shoot a certain bullet only. The downside of these alterations is If the rifle doesn't like that Bullet you are stuck with no where to go. There is no such thing as a Match reamer. There are SAMME reamers and there are Non SAMME reamers (Dimensional changes) and the reamer will be marked identifying the changes. also calling a reamer a match reamer does not make the chamber better than a SAMME chamber if the chamber is cut to close tolerances, only different. A good smith can throat it to SAMME specs. without altering the rest of the chamber allowing you to shoot any bullet you want. And yes, short freebore can drive pressure up prematurely.
