If anyone is still hanging around this thread, I have an update. We’re finally getting somewhere on it. The reamer that cut my chamber is out of spec, pretty bad. Supposedly it’s on its way back to Rich and then back to the reamer manufacturer. I’ll loose a little barrel length to clean it up...
I have a question for you 338 Mega shooters. I have one that is giving me problems and I'm looking for the source of the problems. It's seemed that my neck shoulder junction isn't forming like it should to my chamber, but possibly it's forming like it should. I had expected more of a sharp...
