Thread: 223/556 reamers

My Kieger 223 barrel has just been set back by the LGS and rechambered. However the barrel is very "tight" - the throating reamers he has won' t fit (hes tried several options).

This is a bugger because I want to run 80 gn boolets and as it is they have to be set waay back in the case - and it did used to shoot these with superb accuracy before we messed with it).

So, does anybody know a gunsmith with a purpose made reamer for 80 grainers??

@Tentman found one

But that tight throat might still be a problem

Did he gauge it and give you a size?

No,I'll have to ask (my phone conked out . . . )

What will your max COAL be you'll be wanting to load to? I just did a barrel for Tahr - hes shooting 77s with it.
