[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2407558, member: 106514"] I have a custom reamer and Go Gauge sitting in the closet I've never opened. It's a .25 Creedmoor variant with most of the freebore removed. I designed it to favor the current offerings of bullets up to 120 grains. That was before the Berger 133gr Hunters were available. My main problem is finding a good .257 barrel in 9 twist that I don't have to wait most of a year for. I really wanted a pre-fit, and if PVA offered the option in 9 twist, I would have one already. Sure I can order a custom barrel from Hart, Pac-Nor, Douglas, and more, I'm sure, and I guess that's what I'll have to do if I ever get to use the reamer. It's still hard to find good quarterbore barrels in anything other than 1:10 except one or two in like 1:7 now. Anything in between is a long special order process with upcharges in some cases for the bore size, special twist, and/or using your own reamer. The quarter comeback isn't progressing fast enough for my liking.😂 [/QUOTE]
