[QUOTE="Rhett Crider, post: 2617544, member: 105034"] As Longtine said, you will gain free bore over time shooting. I always give my smith dummy loads when chambering. If you plan on loading Berger hybrid ogives and Nosler ABLRs, then I would go with the shorter free bore. 0.070 bearing surface behind the junction is not critical enough to me. Besides that, your smith can always add free bore/ throat but they can't take it away. Just make sure it's 1.5* leade angle on the reamer. I also usually find Bergers hybrid sweet spot around 0.020-0.025 jump. Hunting rifles, not comp but achieve sub 1/2 MOA also. [/QUOTE]
