[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1053212, member: 1290"] What constitutes an oversized chamber? Ackley Improved chambers are significantly oversized and they extract just fine. There is no magic to chamber sizing. Every reamer and every chamber is unique as a fingerprint. As long as the same brass is fired in the same chamber is doesn't matter a few thousandths here or there as long as it not mechanically locking into a ringed groove in the chamber. Unless the same smith cuts each barrel to the same spec with the exact same reamer on the same day you cannot expect fired brass from one rifle to fit another even though they are the same caliber. It can happen but it's the exception when it does. [/QUOTE]
