Anyone familiar with the .308 Sniper chamber??
I sent the following email question to PAC-NOR:
*****************
<span style="color: #000099">Hi,
I'm going to be sending in a Remington 700 barreled action for rebarreling. This will be a target rifle. I've decided on everything I want except the chamber. I want one of the tighter or match type 308 Win chambers but I don't know which one.
Of the wildcat 308s that you offer I'm interested in learning more about the following chambers:
.308 Palma
.308 Obermeyer
.308 AI
Would it be possible to get the dimensions from you for these chambers? Or if not, could you could point me to a web site that has them listed?
Another question is, are there options within a given reamer choice when chambering? For example lets say I wanted to go with 308 Palma but the standard throat is too short for my bullet of choice (168 gr HPBT Nosler CC), could I get a longer throat and if yes would that cost extra?
Thanks, Bayou</span>

They replied the same day and on a Saturday at that - NICE!

I've never heard of a .308 Sniper reamer. Unfortunately Chris didn't include that schematic with the others but I did ask him for it. So just wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this chambering. Wondering how much "tighter" if any than a standard SAMMI 308 Win it might be?
Also in case any others might be interested in the above chamberings thought I would share. I assume since these diagrams are sent free to anyone who asks there are no copyright issues in posting them.
