Flatland Shooter Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've got close to a full case of 160 gr Ibejihed coated bullets sitting on a shelf in the garage. Might have finally found a use for them. A primer and a few flakes of N-320 might make minor. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hello: My barrel came today. It will not fully chamber my 147 Acme loads that are 1.145" OAL in length. My 1.170" Montana Gold 115 JHP loads would not chamber either. Looks like I will have to throat it so it will work for my loads. The barrel is threaded for standard 223 comps which opens up more options if you bore the comp out. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Mine came in too. Checked max length on the bullets I have on hand. 124 gr MG JHP = 1.067" 115 gr Blue Bullets RN Coated = 1.090" 147 gr Xtreme RN Plated = 1.140" 160 gr Ibejihead RN Coated = 1.136" Much better than my current PSA barrels but a bit disappointed with the 124 gr MG JHP. Really would like to load them out to 1.150" or so (that length gives best accuracy in my open guns). At least these are stainless steel and can be reamed.

bmiller Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mine arrived yesterday. It looks like a great value. I was happy how tight it is with the stripped aero upper I am going to use with it. Link to comment

BillI have a few custom carbide chamber reamers now available for sale if anyone needs to add chamber depth to any barrel type. I was using a high speed steel Clymer throater, but HS steel cutters are good for about one non-stainless barrel. Send a message if interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
wheelie Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Can you please quote the dimensions of that reamer? Link to comment
1911luvr Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Can you please quote the dimensions of that reamer?It's has a 2.5 degree throat angle, and is a heavy duty carbide version of the Clymer T35P .35 cal Throater. I had the shank diameter also increased so your lathe (or tap handle) can have a larger surface area to grip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
