[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 739734, member: 3056"] A couple years ago I built a 300wsm on a new 700 action. It has a Shilen select match bbl and HS Precision PSS stock. At the time the gunsmith talked me into using a reamer he had on hand from one of the BR shooters he builds rifles for. The reamer was designed for a "tight neck" at .336 diameter. I was just getting into LR shooting and thought this would be the way to go. Fast forward a couple of years and I have seen enough guns without this feature shoot just as good and turning the necks is a royal pain in the butt! My question is could I have the neck opened up on the current chambering without a great risk of affecting accuracy? I really don't want to set the barrel back as its only 24" now (told you I was new when I built it). The barrel only has about 50 rounds through it and shoots great. i would like to use it without a total rebuild, but do not want to turn necks anymore. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
