[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1556355, member: 105653"] Yes get a finish reamer and own it so you have it. 7 STW eats barrels like a fat kid eats cookies. Set it back a 1/4 inch on both ends and re-chamber and re-crown. When the throat starts to erode in the future you can repeat the process. I always get my barrels with some extra length if they are known barrel burners so I can do this a time or too. If the smith needs to rent a rough reamer he can but always have your own finish reamers. That is always a problem when people cut champers to SAMMI minimums or in some cases less than minimum with a custom reamer. [/QUOTE]
