[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 626350, member: 8358"] I had a Tikka T3 Lite chambered in 300WSM (my youngest son has it now) that had a chamber so tight I had to take the sizing die to a grinder and carefully grind the die body shorter to get enough shoulder set back to chamber new Winchester brass. It worked fine but some of the purists nearly fell off their pedistals when I mentioned this on a forum. I never tried any factory loaded ammo to see if it would chamber but I doubt it would. If you plan on reloading your own ammo for this rifle, if I were you, I would get your sizing die adjusted/altered so that it will work, but if you need to be able to shoot factory ammo you may need to have the chamber cut to looser tolerances.
