chambering

First time poster here looking for some input, Recently picked up a prefit for an American rifle company Nucleus. Chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I bought it second hand with low round count. Spun it onto my action and torqued it down. Doesn’t close on a no go, closed on go gauge, little tight, but...

I am planning to get a head start on my barrel change for the MR223. Since original HK barrels are under a very heavy rock, I will buy a match barrel for it locally. Probably a Lothar with 16" barrel, 1/7". While I like to shoot for precision aside regular shooting, it comes after...

ALL PRICES ARE SHIPPED. Downsizing on reamers I dont have a need for. Would also consider trades for some calibers I dont have. Message me for pictures about the specific ones your interested in. 972006 PTG .12Ga Spiral Forcing Cone Reamer $120 -----SOLD SHIPPED 202732 PTG 6mm/300WSM Finishing...

Anyone see this? ACE Barrels They have basically separated the manufacturing of the chamber from the manufacturing of the rifling and bore. Super interesting concept! Would be curious as to much more experienced folks as to your thoughts here….

What cartridge are you shooting at 1 mile +\-? Pondering a build to make consistent hits at a mile. 6.5CM just doesn’t seem quite enough. Two categories (randomly divided): Less than 45 gr powder… More than 45 gr powder.

Wanted to get an opinion on this- just got a brand new benchmark barrel in 6GT and cleaned it. This is what my throat looks like and there is some damage to the rifling just before the crown. What would you do? Thanks

Hello all, I am getting ready to purchase a chamber reamer to do a 260 Remington and I was looking for some suggestions on whether to do a standard SAAMI chamber or a match chamber. Standard throat of custom throat? As it stands right now, I am considering a live pilot reamer from Pacific...

All, As the title suggests, I am new to the world of long range marksmanship. I am currently working on piecing together my first rig. I am getting to a point where I have some unanswered questions that I figured I would post here. How does someone determine the most ideal dummy round...

Never have even touched a lathe before so forgive me if I sound stupid. How far can a barrel stick out of the headstock/spider/dohicky unsupported when chambering? Reason I ask is if say your spindle bore is only 1" but your chambering a barrel with say a Rem #3 contour where the barrel...

I have a heavy contoured barrel that is chambered in 260 Rem. The barrel is crowned and threaded. Is it possible to reduced the contour of the barrel to a smaller diameter and / or rechamber to a larger caliber? Would any gunsmith be able to do this or is this a project for only the barrel...

I bought a new Rem 700 action (long action, magnum boltface) and I have been swinging back and forth between doing a 7mm RM or a 300 win mag. Are there any other good options I should look at? My goal is to have a hard hitting, accurate rifle out to at least 600 yards. I already have a 700P in...

I chambered a .260 RP a few days ago for a client and thought I'd share the process for those that may have never seen this. My photos start after initial turning down of the tennon and threading. Sorry, I didn’t think about sharing until after that had been done. I double indicate everything...

my dpms lr 308 rifle does not go into full battery on occasion. when i pull the charging handle to eject the round to inspect it, there is a scratch mark on the side of the case. this happens with the reloads and commercial rounds. i have been told to use a finish reamer and it will clear my...

I am trying to build a .308 on a Remington action. I just got "The Complete Illustrated Guide to Precision Barrel Fitting" and I had a question. It sounds like in the book when you chamber you use the rougher for about 1/4 in. then switch to the Finisher to cleanup. Then go deeper with the...

Who here is chambering ar 15 barrels? Looking to get in on the rock river gb and need to have some work done. Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks

Has anyone used the pull through style finish reamers on a short chambered barrel? I'd been looking at having a rifle of mine rebarreled and started thinking about doing it myself today. I have machine shop/CAD experience, but don't have the opportunity to use a lathe for this particular...

Like the question says. What do you reach for when the target is 1500 yards away?? Lee

A buddy brought his grandpa's nice sporterized 03-A3 remington by the house tonight. He had asked me about it earlier wanting to know the caliber. I had told him I thought it was an 06 and would take a look at it if he brought it by. I grabbed a 06 headspace gauge and it wouldn't close on the...
