[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 951355, member: 2736"] Yes you can, and lots of people have the smith do a custom chamber . But Be aware of the many problems that may show up if you do a special chamber. Some of the things that sometimes come up are = if you short throat a chamber for a certain bullet and the rifle/barrel doesn't like it you are screwed. Then you have to have it throated to be able to shoot other bullets. extending the mag first will help to determine the COAL and then deciding if you want to go with a special chamber or just shoot the lengthened rounds that will fit in the mag. I prefer extending the mag box and using a SAAME reamer because it allows you to seat different bullets in the chamber to there desired lengths and you are not stuck with one bullet or load length. Controlled feed and COAL length are two separate issues and need to be addressed separately. Bullet nose damage can be caused by any poor feeding action including push feeds and should be addressed also. Sometimes altering an action to make it do something different than it was designed for can be more expensive than buying the correct action for the intended use. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
