I almost hate to tell you, except that it worked well. I built a dummy cartridge with the same bullet that I shoot, set at the lands. I drilled and tapped the primer hole To thread onto my cleaning rod that I chucked up in my drill. First I cleaned out all the copper filing in the throat area...

My son has a 300 WinMag that he had to send back three times before they got it fixed, but they made it into a good shooter. Initially it had a groove around the inside of the chamber so when he fired a round he could not eject it because the case swelled up into the groove. They put a new...

I have a 7 mm rem Mag that came with a tight throat just before the lands. It built up copper fouling and would not except a loaded cartridge as the bullet was larger than the inside of the copper fouled throat. Christian would not warranty it because I had used handloads in it. I honed out the...
