Indicator rod for clambering?

[unioncreek]

I'm going to chamber a barrel and am looking for an indicator road for a 308. I've heard of guys. Making them, but have not found what material they use. Any help appreciated.

You, and certainly I would find multiple uses for a .250 to .500 Pin gage set. CDCO has a set for 80 bucks. Otherwise I grind down round HSS tool blanks using spin fixture and surface grinder.

check out Pacific tool and die, they are exsperts at chamber reamers, they sell rods with live pilots to fit diffrent barrel bores

I rarely use an indicator rod. I use a long stylus dial test indicator and reach up in the bore and indicate the barrel where the throat will be.
