Seems some company made a bunch of out of spec carbide reamers and sent those reamers to the big production barrel makers. They didn't figure it out until mid summer. Now everyone is trying to get barrels made to the correct spec so they will shoot the ELD and SMK. New 83gr Bergers and 90gr SMKs are coming.
The barrels with the out of spec long freebore tend to shoot the 75tmj and 60gr better than the barrels cut with the SAAMI freebore but shoot the VLDs worse because of the long jump.
