Re: Expected COAL from Reamer Print

I just wonder that the Single Shot Reamer with .168 fb will usable with 168-175 SMK?

Worried about left shank bearing surface of 168-175 SMK will not enough for case nk to grip when load to touch the land or slightly jump 0.010" - 0.030"


Normal fb .088 which suitable for Mag Box was COAL 2.800"

Then the expected Normal COAL of .168 fb which set up for Single Shot will be 2.800" + 0.080" = 2.880"?
