It looks like a keeper, Leon! This is good to see - I just received my Henriksen .204 reamer (live pilot version) and WILL be able to contact the lands with the common bullets - I can hardly wait to get the barrel chambered!

I have been amazed at how well the factory rigs tend to shoot - especially with the SAAMI Spec. (0.100") free-bore! With a 1.5 Degree (1 minute, 30 seconds) throat, the bullets, as seated in the Hornady factory  ammo, would JUMP 0.050" with ZERO free-bore; thus, via the SAAMI chambered rig, the jump would be 0.150"!! before encountering the lands! :( And still, most seem to shoot pretty well . . .  R.G.
