[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2755730, member: 124418"] New Proof CF 22-250 1-8 twist barrel. The barrel has been mounted on the rifle and everything is fine, shot a few break in loads today. Measuring the chamber with different bullets I intend on loading in the rifle and am finding that the chamber is barely long enough to seat 55 gr Varmint bullets jam, minus 20 or 30 thousandths. 69 Sierra Tipped Game Kings and 70 Hammer Hunters are pushed back into the brass over 1/4" past the shoulder/neck junction, not optimal. Question is how can it be fixed, or can it, so that all three bullets are accommodated in the chamber so they are loaded optimally? Seems like the solution would be use a reamer to remove more of the barrel to allow the longer bullets to be seated longer in the chamber? I am no gun smith by any imagination, so hope this isn't a stupid question. Would ask my gunsmith, but he is also an O&G company man and is out on a rig for the next 20 days. [/QUOTE]
