What do others here recommend for freebore on a .243 Ackley Improved shooting mostly heavier (95gr SMK) bullets? I plan to try 107s in it seated a little deeper and maybe some of the little varmint grenade stuff (with a jump to the lands) for fun / pdogs. Will be feeding from an AICS through a TAC30 action.

Dave is at SHOT right now so I can't bother him with my next reamer purchase question.

Any thoughts / comments are welcome!

Have you worked up a load yet? What are you feeding it? How does it shoot?
