A reamer that is +.001" too large in diameter can jack things up pretty quickly, as in tight chambers and short throats.
Run that reamer like a bad boy until it gets smaller from wear and see what happens.
Thanks for that. I assume you meant -.001 too small. I always figured there would be that much variation in manufacturing and didn't think that would be enough to cause problems BUT I am extremely new to the Grendel and compound chamber stuff.
I would think the problem would be from the latter more so though, Using tooling long past it's effective life span especially after hearing about visible chatter marks.
