[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 244614, member: 307"] mudbug, As far as you have too when chasing accuracy. I would go until it stops shooting accurately.

The rechamber job will clean up the old chamber/leads and put you back at square one. You will have to readjust your loads overall length(s) and may have to start over on load development.
