Rito guys. . . .here's the situation. . . I've got a few mixed JGS and PTG HSS and carbide reamers that I've had other Smith's use to chamber barrels for me. Some I have my own bushing for and others I don't.
Now I'm looking to get myself a set of bushings in each cal and a set of gritters indicator rods to match.
What I do know:
## Bushing for PTG carbide reamers are different to everything else.
## Oil grooved JGS pilots have smaller ID's to allow for a thicker pilot wall.
## Manson .17 and .20 cal pilots have a different ID to PTG
## JGS don't make gritters style indicator rods so I would need to order through PTG and by proxy end up needing PTG bushings to suit.
What I need an definitive answer on is "are standard (non grooved, non carbide) bushings from 17 through to 30 interchangeable between PTG and JGS?"
JGS have provided the below on their bushings but haven't received any info from PTG yet.
.1675 - .1985 (17-20 Cal) #0 (.1092)
.209 - .243 (22-6mm) #1 (.1891)
.247 - .2775 (25-7mm) #2 (.2200)
.297 - .486 (30-45 cal) #3 (.2521)
