[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1056649, member: 10391"] I'm going through the same thing. This new rifle is for hunting so want the loads to fit in the mag. I can load the bullets out to 3.600 and still feed through the mag. If I make the COL 3.590 using a 215gr Berger it will be 0.010 off the lands using a spec reamer and the bullet has good bearing in the case with plenty of room for the charge. This to me is the important thing that way load development starts 0.010 off the lands and works moving away, and the loads will run through the magazine. I have verified this with the smith and all the math seems to jive. I'm going to buy the reamer and hold on to it for future builds in that caliber. Kind of leaning towards Dave Mason Reamers. Talk with your smith and fully understand the process so you can make wise choices. [/QUOTE]
