    Does anyone know what the bore dimensions are? Standard .300/.308 or .300/.309 like the 11" twist, 25" long 7.62X51-BLANK?

    I'm putting together two 30BR rifles that need 20" .30 cal barrels but I probably wouldn't waste my time profiling these if they are a .309 bore. Cast bullets with the right throat would probably be fine in a 309 but I don't think they would have great accuracy with jacketed bullets. My reamer has a .3085 throat.

    IIRC, they are .308. Will verify when I get home from the beach this afternoon/tonight/tomorrow...

    FWIW, I have shot .309-.311 Bullits (cast for my microgrove Marlin 30/30), and they work fantastic...side from seating shallow....

    What is this about a chamber with a long tapered throat? Something different from the normal .308 chamber?

    Never mind, I managed to look it up. Thank you AlGore, for my Internet!

    Bought two. They do look nice. Will look even nicer on my VZ24.
