    Factory 308 reamer.....Do any of yall know which reamer they use at the factory?


    Do any of yall know what reamer they use at the factory?

    Run of the mill SAMMI 308 reamer:?

    Or is it a the 95 Palma reamer?

    I want to shoot the 185 grain Berger hybrids and I need to measure the throat on both my barrels. My lathe is scattered across the shop at the moment so I think I am going to have to farm this out.

    I am thinking about running my throat to 0.100" to work with both the 155 and 185 grain hybrids. I actually do not have a 308 reamer and can't decide if I want to get the palma reamer or the fullbore.

    Thanks guys!

    Just a well worn sammi reamer so it will shoot any factory ammo.
    Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!

    Give Dave Kiff a call, he'll know which reamer would suit your needs best.
