6.5 Grendel PTG Reamer

[babaganoush]

What the hell are you talking about regarding a "Grendel II"?...that is total BS.

The SAAMI spec chamber handles 123 SST/A-Max just fine. Everyone else's (with the sole exception of Shivesy's McGowen barrel which was reamed with another PTG reamer) has been fine.

I'm still bothered by the attributed comment from S. Satern saying the throat is NOT part of the SAAMI spec. If he really believes that, then his comments regarding his PTG reamer being in spec is very suspect.

It also goes back to SAAMI specifies the MINIMUM chamber, and MAXIMUM cartridge. The reamer maker must make the reamer such that the resulting chamber is in spec. I don't think there is a spec, per se, for the reamer.

Thank God that Bill A. maintained such tight control of the pre-SAAMI chamber!...now we see why!

+1000!

You beat me to it, Bjornf16.

"Grendel II" is one of the most presumptuous things I've heard said on this board, in quite a while. That is something you would expect to hear from someone trying to redefine the terms of an argument.

I think the first thing on your comment needs to be accurate, the bullet was not hitting the lands but touching the free-bore or there lack of.

If the bullet is "not hitting the lands but touching the free-bore or there lack of", then THAT, by its very definition, is HITTING THE LANDS. A bullet cannot "hit the free bore." Another case of trying to redefine the terms. If there is no free bore, then the chamber, by definition, is short throated.
