Rebarreling
A Different Twist to Benchrest Barrel Fitting
by Mike Bryant
This was originally published in Precision Shooting in the early
90's and has been updated over the years.
At the NBRSA Nationals in 1991 at Midland, I had the good fortune to
be shooting next to Ed Shilen. I was needing a new barrel for my Sporter
and, of course, when you are shooting next to Ed all week that barrel
wound up being a Shilen. When I went over to his motor home to pick up
the barrel, Ed was having a conversation with T. J. Jackson and Allan
Hall. Since I do my own gunsmithing, I am always interested in the ways
that different people do their barrel fitting. Read the full
article.
I now have a set of official NBRSA weights for calibrating my Toledo
scales. This should help ensure that any benchrest rifle built by Bryant
Custom will make the weight class that it should with no problems.

Reamer is run in to the bottom of
the shoulder giving the same neck diameter and throat as your chamber.
This allows a quick check on neck diameter and also is an easy way
to find a starting seating depth. This is only for chambers without
special throating, (ie. separate throating reamer).
