[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1348495, member: 24284"] Eddie is absolutely correct! When fire forming, the brass must be firmly held against the bolt face. All stretching of the brass to meet the Ackley chamber must happen at the shoulder end. Ackley head space is .004-.006" [B][I]shorter[/I][/B] than its 'parent' cartridge. When re-chambering any barrel to an Ackley I want to insure the reamer completely 'cleans-up' the old chamber. Just another reason, besides proper head spacing, to set back a 1/2 turn to a turn. You would want a 'fresh' throat too, wouldn't you? The same conditions apply to the "Rogue" cartridges. Factory barrels (Win., Rem., Ruger, Sav.) are rarely worth the cost to re-chamber, although there are exceptions as there exceptions to most everything in this world. [/QUOTE]
