[QUOTE="doggonner, post: 1924615, member: 114480"] you can chamber a barrel with it on the rifle some barrel makers sell what's called a short chamber then you buy the reamer and correct bushings for the receiver and start reaming very slowly doing checks, then when the go gauge drops your done,, this way you know exactly what you have not what someone tells you they done. I use only a go gauge when a screw on a new barrel..I set the barrel with a little feel on the go then i'm done..you can do this by knowing your shoulder datum., knowing your shoulder datum then checking your new brass and set to .002 growth, brass will last longer and not be worked as much,, I'm not a smith but I change out barrels alot. do my own throating. when running a improved chamber the bullet needs to be jammed or a false neck created, you can create a false neck on the 280 imp by necking up to 30 cal then neck down to 28 and leave the neck die short thus creating a false neck to hold the brass against the bolt face and letting the shoulder fill into the chamber..then set your dies to bump .001 or .002 [/QUOTE]
