Gunsmithing .308 2011 fullbore or Bisley reamer?

[Brodie]

Hi,
Looking for advice on reamer selection, I'm planning on building a rifle on a stiller tac30 with a 26" 1:10" twist shilen. I'd like to primarily shoot the 155.5 bergers and would be using lapua brass but I also might load up some 165gr accubonds for deer.
I would also like these to feed from AI mags. Any suggestions welcome. Also could anyone give me the email address for PTG as I cannot seem to get it working on the website.
thanks

Back off on the twist rate. 1:12 is generally preferred for that weight class.

The Bisley chamber was/is for the icky Radway Green amo. Your gun would likely shoot fine with it, but I'd edge towards the 2011 prolly as its a little more conservative.

I own just about every PTG Palma style 308 reamer made. Be glad to help!

Hi Chad thanks for the advice. I already have the 1:10 twist sitting in a drawer and believe me I would have one of your builds in a heartbeat but I'm in Canada and paperwork is a bitch. Thats also why I bought the shilen, it was in stock and on sale, and I waited over 8 months for a krieger last year and about 16 months for a barrel from one of our own canadian makers the year before that. For some reason most of our .30 cal barrels up here that are in stock are 10 twists.
I'll try the fullbore reamer and see how it goes with the 10 twist
