I will give Dave a call Tuesday unless someone here has it. Thanks.

Take a look for .308 M852 Match, that should sort it.

We chambered a rifle for that profile recently and with MEN Black Spot it was seen to print 2.3" groups off a bipod by an (no insult intended) avarage shooter at 600yrds who was new to the rifle.

If that doesn't work, I have his complete set.
I could scan it and email it to you if that doesn't violate any of Dave's rules.
 
Re: 308 Bisley reamer print

I have the reamer and the print. I'm at home but will try to remember to scan/post in the morning.

Nutshell:

The Bisley Palma was the mandated chamber used in all team guns during the 2003 World Palma Championships. It's intended to (hopefully) adequately chamber the Radway Green ammunition.

In the palma world its generally not a favored chamber as the Radway stuff leaves quite a bit to be desired. It's essentially little more than surplus machine gun ammunition.

The current reamer used by the US team is the 2011 Fullbore. I have it as well. In fact I have just about every palma reamer known on planet earth.

That being said: I've yet to see one conclusively outshine another. Much of this is still stuck in the Ouji Board/monkey see, monkey do mentality. I firmly believe if the threading, chambering work is done well, the gun will shoot the load. I've got enough palma guns under my belt now to stand pretty firm on that.

Be glad to help.
