[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 998178, member: 2736"] We see/hear lots of problems with chambers not fitting the cartridges for some reason or the other. Reamer selection can be a big issue if not done properly. A friend is wanting to build a ,223 and was asking what reamer to use. he sent me a chart with some of the different reamer dimensions to compare. As you can see there are many variations just on the .223 besides SAMME specifications that require a decision based on its intended use, as with ALL chambers/cartridges. [url]http://ar15barrels.com/data/223-556.pdf[/url] Sometimes a Smith May be tempted to use a non standard reamer and not tell the owner (Not good in many cases). so one of the things to clear up before starting, is the reamer he intends to use and what effects/needs related that have to be addressed when loading ammo for it. This is just to make people aware that all reamers are created equal and chosing the right one is very important . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
