Help ASAP 208gr Amax

[308garand]

I am fixing to place an order for a new barrel and am wanting the throat cut for the 208 Amax. The problem is I can't get my hands on any right now. Could someone please help me out by sending me 1 bullet to make a dummy round out off? After I am able to pick up some 208s I'll gladly replace the round that is sent to me.

Talk to the gunsmith who is going to cut the chamber. Most good smiths have several chamber reamers for each caliber. If you want it to shoot "X" brand, weight or design bullets and still feed through the magazine, they can do that too.

Make sure you get a "new" lot 208. I've measured about .030" difference between "old" lots and "new".

Going back and reading my previous post again, it didn't sound like it did in my head when I typed it. Let me add something here that was somehow left out of my post above.

If you load your favorite bullet in a case and set it so it will feed through your rifle's magazine, the tool grinder where your gunsmith orders his chamber reamers can make it so you can feed your favorite bullet X.XXX inches long and be 0.XXX thousandths off the lands.

I think I've had too much pain meds to be doing this at this time of day.
