[QUOTE="ImBillT, post: 3053472, member: 117715"] I 100% agree. That's my point. We don't need SAAMI to change their tolerances. Their tolerances define the bare minimum. If you want something better you have options ranging from buying a different brand to going full custom. If you buy a $200 AR upper or a $450 bolt action rifle and find ammo that doesn't work flawlessly in it, that doesn't indicate the SAAMI needs to revisit anything. You get what you pay for, and there's a market for budget firearms and ammunition just like there's a market for the high end. It's unusual for me to own a rifle with a factory chamber. Some of my reamers are custom spec'd and some are simply SAAMI spec reamers, but the chamber job was done properly and carefully, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. I just don't see any point is lobbying SAAMI to change anything. The budget market has its place just as much as high end production, semi-custom and custom. The best that can be had is out there if you wanna pay for it. Changing SAAMI specs won't change that, or bring up the quality to price ratio. It will just cause the low end of the budget market not to exist anymore. And actually, modern equipment is making precision cheaper, it just hasn't caught up completely yet. SAMMI isn’t needed to fix that issue either. [/QUOTE]
