Just wondering what Bottom metal/DBM set ups you guys are running for the 105 to 115 gr. bullets. In my VTR I cant even get the 95 gr. VLD's out to the lands at mag length so I am just curious what you guys are doing to make this work. Thanks in advance.
? for the heavy bullet 243 guys?

Everything I have is either in a McMillan or Manners stock with Badger M5 or Surgeon DBM and have no problems with 115gr DTAC's at 2.885"

To answer that question you'd need to know the freebore of your reamer. Just because he's .005" of doesn't mean that will be the same for you. Trying to save you some headache down the road. You probably already know this but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case you didn't.

Dustin </div></div>I understand, and this bring up the question of whether or not his rifle was chambered with s SAAMI reamer or something different.
