308 Reamer

The cost of a solid pilot finishing reamer and Go gauge plus shipping are
PTG = AU$343
Brownells - Clymer = AU$354
Manson = AU$416

I am now inclined to go with Brownells - Clymer. I assume Grumpy you are saying Clymer ar OK?
@BlueFlyer
At those prices it would be cheaper to have someone ream it for you. Try MAB in Brisbane or Meroo gunsmithing in Rylestone NSW.
You could have it threaded and chambered for less than the cost of the reamer

Hi Bob
Thanks for the thoughts. All under control, another member on this site from the NT sent me a couple of chambered barrels that came out of donor rifles for other projects. They are perfectly suitable for this "truck gun" project.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
