I dropped my barrel off at my smith today and haven't 100% settled on a chamber.

Some specs, it's gonna finish out at 20 inches. It's an Obermyer 1/10 twist and I will be shooting mostly 175 SMK and 190's out of it.

It's a tactical rifle so ammo has to be short enough for mag feeding.

Any experience or suggestions appreciated.
 
Re: So what chamber for my .308 build?

My smith recommended an Obermeyer chamber for 168 and 175's fed from a Remington BDL. I've read a few posts here that agree with this, but I've also seen many newer reamers recommended- of course these are all aimed at the DBM crowd who load longer.
