Gunsmith who is cutting the chamber said (22/250)"Standard SAAMI reamer will work,with room to seat bullets out farther if I want to touch the lands" . Others say they detest SAAMI reamers in custom bbls ,another says with zero free bore I can get an additional 1,000 rnds of bbl life . What say ye ?

BTW, 12T gonna be enough for the 53gr V-Max? For one reason or another, I want to say I recall Hornady recommending something faster than 12T. I could be wrong - it happens. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

The 50 gr shoot sub moa, the 55 gr are no good. Thousands of rodents have died. That was with my Manson custom 223 reamer with 0.250" neck and 0.050" shorter throat.
