    Gunsmithing Oversized Chamber???????

    Your smith probably used the reamer to cut the entire chamber. Probably used a dead center as well? Just a guess though.. A little oversize doesn't hurt anything other than brass life a little. Sorry to hear of your trouble. Lee Lee Gardner Precision

    300 blackout, why not a

    Why do they shorten the parent case "223" to make the blackout? The 300 whisper or now know blackout has been around for a very long time. we just used a 221 fireball case and necked it up. why not just take a 223 case and neck it up to 30cal. I guess I don't understand. Lee
