The Wylde chamber in my RRA is bigger in all dimensions than the 5.56 chamber in my Bushmaster.

Where are you having problems?

Are you having problems with the Wylde chamber?

In any case, no matter what chamber you have, there will be a variance. Reamers wear with each chamber cut. The tolerances depend on when each manufacturer change the reamers out.

ziarifleman....I have read many cases of Bushmaster having out of spec. (tight) chambers.

I know it's waaay bigger than a .223 match chamber, because brass from the Bushmaster will not even come close to going into my PD bolt gun.

One thing is bigger on the Bushmaster, the throat is quite a bit longer, but there is a reason for that apart from them being Wylde or 5.56.
