[QUOTE="Lightvarmint, post: 198624"] He won't get any of my business, because I have a smith on retainer who does all my hunting work. I obtain the components, drive to the shop and he does it all while I wait. He does a fantastic job and his chamberings always shoot in the low .1s and some even in the .0xx range. I can't expect anyone else to do do it while I wait so why should I even consider going somewhere else? On my bench guns, I use a different smith who specializes in the actions that I use and he was also the guy who tutored me when I started shooting benchrest in the early 90's. The only kind of non-benchrest work I get done now is some chambering to replace worn barrels or to try a new caliber, bead blasting and maybe a muzzle brake or two since I already have all the stocks, actions and bolts that I need. I normally get three bolts with my custom hunting guns (06, win mag, 378 wthby) to prevent having to get another gun built. I just swap bolts and barrels. I have designed my own reamers and had them built (along with gages) for the calibers I use and keep them to use again when a barrel runs/burns out. I like to maintain quality control over chamber sizes. FWIW, I was shooting the 338 Snyper (now the 338 Lapua) and its variants long before Lapua offered the brass and before it was named the Lapua. I still have a bunch of the original non-headstamped brass. So, since I paid for the testing and had the reamers built, would that mean that anyone who got a reamer or gage after me stole my idea........ NO not at all! It just means that they want one like it. What I am gleaning from your posting is, if you are not the first one to design reamers and test an idea then that would be stealing? Only original ideas and associated equipment are not stealing? I sincerely doubt that Kirby was the first to tinker with all the cases he has chosen to market and I know he would not do that if he thought it was stealing. He is merely improving on an already existing idea. If that is your assertion and you believe it to be true, then someone has stolen some of my ideas and work. James [/QUOTE]
