I love my Eley and SK in my 41 but the wallet can only take so much...lolHardly. Stingers are neat, among the various hyper-velocity .22 LR options, and they are pretty, with their silver casing.
But the gold standards are not made in the US. Eley, Lapua, RWS...depending on who you ask.
They CAN. The Hammerli 200 series, for example, can be made to function better with a drop of oil on the top of the first round of every magazine. Royal PITA, if you ask me, even for a target arm.
But if I were guessing, the 41 is probably
---middle-of-the-road length,
--with taper still cut in the body like most reamers do (but real match BR chambers DON'T), and
--a 2-3 degree leade.
In other words, I have just described something very similar to a Bentz.
You can't chamber an automatic in a real short reamer, like a Calfee or a Winchester 52, because the amount of graving you get would pull bullets if you had to eject one without firing it.
That, and on the lower diameter end--and God help you if you chambered one with parallel walls--wax and lead would very quickly cause issues with feeding, fully seating into battery, and/or ejection.
I did chamber an autoloader with JGS' "JGS Match" reamer. It worked really, really well, and I liked the 1.5* leade more than the 3+ degree that the Bentz has. That being said, it was a rifle, and any buildup, etc. would have to overcome the much-extended gas dwell time of a rifle barrel.
You'd also get more round count out of a Bentz, with the sharper angle, but I don't really care about that, in favor of greater accuracy with the shallower chambers. 1.5-degree Annies are rated for 50,000 rounds before beginning to lose accuracy.
NOBODY chambers match stuff in anything steeper than 1 degree 30 minutes.
I always heard the same. I'm over 10,000 of 0035 on my 41, with very few complaints. I have fired a little surolus Remington Target (the serialized white box stuff), and it digested that just fine...probably less than 2,000 rounds worth, though.
It also digests the Eley stuff, but it will shortstroke, intermittently. The CCI 0035 SV never has that problem unless I get lazy and my thumb drags the rail. That WILL cause a 41 to stovepipe and other FTE.
I would only trust my life to Eley priming, and CCI, if I had to carry a .22.
