Rod or Shane, PM me please with regard reamer suitable reamer dimensions and availability of hybrids. Thanks David. Happy to hear from others publically on the forum with regard their views. Understand that the minimum neck is .344". But what about free flight and lead angle? Have a spare 1-10 and interested to have a crack. David. :mrgreen:

Hi David. My barrels have all been chambered with a .308Bisley reamer and have worked fine.

Thanks Barry, I will have to check it out. I had an old one for testing in 2002 but I may have modified it. I'll have to run the ruler over it. Have a .223 built for G. She doesn't like it. So thinking about a modern stick bipod and will make myself one. Will use .223 for the shorts because it shoots well and hybrids for the longs. Rod did point out to me that there is less gear to drag off the mound with this class of shooting. That appeals and there are less things to worry about what I have left behind holding others up.

I am not keen to shoot different combinations of pills through the .308 because I feel this will upset throat dimensions and tune as the barrel wears. Some might have different experiences, but I am a bit fussy when it comes to gear set up. Will do some experiments with the recoil compensator and am in the process of making a few different styles. Just for kicks. :mrgreen: Can't see too well or hear like a few of my mates, but sure can feel. David.
